ICSI Treatment

ICSI Treatment in India

Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a procedure consisting of an injection of a single sperm directly into an egg in order to fertilize it. This fertilized egg (embryo) is then transferred to the uterus of the expecting mother. The procedure for ICSI is similar to that for IVF. The difference is that whereas in the IVF process the fertilization is induced in a dish, in ICSI the physician selects sperm from a given sample and then a single sperm is directly injected into each egg. ICSI is known to be the most successful form of fertility treatment and forms almost half of all assisted means reproduction methods.

Process of ICSI at Raipur IVF, India

The ICSI process consists of the creation of several mature eggs. It is possible that you will be given fertility drugs to encourage your ovaries to produce several eggs for fertilization The ICSI process is commonly used by couples who are experiencing the condition of male factor infertility. It is also used by couples who have tried other assisted means in the past and have not been successful.

There are five major steps in the process

1. The male member is asked to produce a sperm sample or one is surgically extracted from him.

2. The eggs are surgically extracted from the female member

3. Using a small hollow needle the sperm is injected into the egg

4. The fertilized egg is now kept under observation and its development is tracked systematically

5. Once it is assured that the embryo is showing all signs of normal growth, the embryo is implanted into the uterus and allowed to mature and grow

Both fresh sperms and frozen sperms may be used for the process. The process happens using a method called micromanipulation. This uses a special tool along with specialized equipment to pick up a single sperm and directly inject it into the egg. A cycle of ICSI treatment takes from four to six weeks. In the first case, the couple has to spend a day at the clinic for egg and sperm retrieval procedures.

After two to six days in the clinic will ask you for a revisit for the embryo transfer procedure.
