ICSI Treatment in Mysore

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a medical procedure used to treat human infertility. It involves injecting sperm directly into the cytoplasm of an egg cell. This procedure is used when a couple has difficulty conceiving due to male infertility or if a sperm sample is of poor quality. The ICSI procedure begins with the collection of sperm from either the male partner or a donor. The sperm is then placed in a nutrient-rich medium and is checked for quality. The doctor will then select the most motile sperm and use a special microscope to observe it. Next, the doctor uses a tiny needle to inject the sperm directly into the egg cell's cytoplasm.

Pre-procedure:

Pre-procedure for ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) typically includes a series of tests to determine the best fertility treatment options for the couple. These tests usually include blood tests to check hormone levels, semen analysis to check sperm counts, and genetic testing to screen for hereditary disorders. In addition, the doctor may recommend lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol and recreational drugs, and maintaining a healthy weight. The couple may also be required to participate in counseling to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure. After completing all the tests, the couple will be ready to start the ICSI procedure. Consult with our experts to have the best treatment.

Procedure:

The ICSI procedure involves several steps, including obtaining sperm, obtaining eggs, preparing the egg and sperm for fertilization, and finally, fertilization.  

  • The first step in ICSI is to obtain sperm from the male partner, and this can be done either through ejaculation or through a surgical procedure known as Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA). In TESA, a needle is inserted into the testicles to extract sperm directly from the testicles. 

  • The next step is to obtain eggs from the female partner. This is typically done through a procedure known as oocyte retrieval, where a needle is inserted into the ovaries to extract the eggs. 

  • Once the sperm and eggs have been obtained, they are prepared for fertilization. The sperm are washed to remove debris, and the eggs are treated with a solution to help the sperm penetrate the egg. 

  • Finally, the sperm is injected into the egg using a very thin needle. This procedure is done under a microscope. If fertilization is successful, the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus for implantation and pregnancy.

Post-procedure:

Post-procedure for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is the process that follows the actual ICSI procedure. After the ICSI procedure has been performed, the eggs and sperm are observed to ensure fertilization has occurred and the embryos are developing correctly. The embryo is monitored to determine the ideal time for embryo transfer. Embryo transfer is when the developing embryo is inserted into the woman's uterus to help initiate pregnancy. Once the embryo transfer is complete, the woman is monitored for signs of pregnancy. Visit our ICSI treatment hospital in Mysore for the best treatment.
