ICSI Treatment
ICSI - Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Dr. Alka Ratnawat can suggest the latest technique known as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) to penetrate the outer layer of the egg. It is also combined with in vitro fertilization to ensure high success rates of conception.
Working Of ICSI
In normal cases, thousands of sperm swim next to the egg to ensure one sperm enters the egg. Traditional IVF also follows the same method where fifty thousand or more sperm swim next to a healthy egg placed in a laboratory dish. With ICSI, the expert doctor uses a micropipette, a tiny needle to inject a single best sperm into the healthy egg’s center. When the egg fertilizes, the doctors transfer it to the woman’s womb. It can improve the chances of conception in men with fewer sperm counts or unhealthy sperm.
Necessity For ICSI
ICSI is a boon for people who suffer from fertility problems caused due to the following conditions:
- The male partner produces insufficient sperm for IUI or IVF
- The sperm fail to move normally
- Man’s sperm fails to attach to the egg
- Blockage in the male reproductive tract stops the sperm from getting out
- The egg fails to fertilize in traditional IVF irrespective of the sperm’s condition
- Use of in vitro matured eggs
- Use of previously frozen eggs
