ICSI Treatment

What is ICSI?

ICSI means injection of the sperm into the middle of the egg.
ICSI is an effective method to fertilize the egg.

How is ICSI Done?

As with IVF, the ovaries are first stimulated by injections and eggs are retrieved.IVF with ICSI involves the use of specialized micromanipulator and an inverted microscope that enables embryologists to pick up individual sperms in a tiny specially designed hollow ICSI needle. The needle is then carefully advanced through the outer shell of the egg and egg membrane and the sperm is then injected into the inner part (cytoplasm) of the egg.

What Percentage of Eggs Get Fertilized After ICSI?

This usually results in normal fertilization in approximately 70-85% of eggs injected with viable sperm.

Who should be treated with ICSI?

  • Men with very low total motile sperm counts
  • IUI Treatment In couples who have had poor fertilization with IVF in a previous cycle
  • Emryo Transfer Men who have no sperms in their ejaculate but need removal from their testes (testicular sperms do not have the capacity to fertilize)
  • IVF Success Rate When fewer than 5 eggs have been retrieved – here ICSI is done to more eggs fertilized
  • IUI Success Rate When the number of eggs retrieved are less than 5. Here ICSI is used to get a higher percentage of eggs fertilized than with IVF (just mixing eggs and sperm together).

How is ICSI performed?

  • This is performed with a specialized ICSI microscope
  • Chennai Best Test Tube Baby Centre Under the microscope, the egg is held by a special holding pipette
  • Fertility Treatment Center A very fine needle is used to pick up the sperm and immobilize it
  • Fertility Clinic The needle with the sperm is introduced carefully through the outer layer of the egg(zonapellucida) and then into the cytoplasm of the egg
  • Fertility Centre in Chennai The sperm is then injected into the egg gently and the needle carefully removed
  • Fertility drugs for women The eggs are checked 18 – 20 hours later to see if they are fertilized
