IMSI treatment for infertility

Category: Technology

IVF treatment for infertility uses a technique called intracytoplasmic morphologically select sperm injection (IMSI). As part of the IMSI procedure, morphologically selected sperm is injected into the egg. Before starting the procedure, this sperm selection is done carefully to isolate any weak or abnormal sperm that could prevent pregnancy. How an IMSI infertility treatment is carried out? • An initial selection of sperm from the collected sample is done as part of IMSI infertility treatment. This is done with a microscope that is 15 times more powerful than a standard microscope. • Specialists can examine the internal morphology of the sperm using a microscope. In this stage, abnormal sperm are discarded immediately. • Normal sperm are then selected and placed into the catheter. These are then implanted deep inside the egg. • A verified sperm sample is then microinjected into the egg using the ICSI procedure. Why should you perform IMSI? IMSI treatment increases the chances of embryo fertilization as well as normal embryo development, especially in men who have had poor previous IVF results with ICSI treatment and in men with abnormally high sperm counts. Specialists can identify abnormal sperm from sperm samples using digital techniques that magnify 6000 times. These abnormal sperm are then removed from the sperm pool which will be used to fertilize the egg. This verified sperm sample is then used in ICSI IVF treatment to improve the chances of the procedure being successful. Who is eligible for IMSI treatment? The IMSI treatment is typically recommended for men who: • Have a high proportion of sperm that is abnormally shaped • Have a very low sperm count in a normal sperm sample • Have a history of poor outcomes from previous ICSI treatments The IMSI technique is still in its early stages, and more research is needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the process. IMSI treatment is carried out with utmost care, aiming to ensure the complete success of the treatment as well as patient satisfaction. A team of expert doctors and specialists not only ensures that you get the best treatment but also ensures that you are comfortable and informed throughout the process.
