Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialised form of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) that is used primarily for the treatment of severe cases of male-factor infertility in Lucknow. ICSI or Intra Cytoplasmin Sperm Injection is the technique of injecting a single sperm into the mature egg. This helps the sperm to fertilise the egg.
The procedure requires that the female partner undergo ovarian stimulation with fertility medications so that several mature eggs develop. These eggs are then aspirated through the vagina using vaginal ultrasound in Lucknow, and incubated under precise conditions in the embryology laboratory. The semen sample is prepared by centrifuging, or spinning the sperm cells through a special medium. This separates live sperm from debris and most of the dead sperm. The embryologist then picks up the single live sperm in a glass needle and injects it directly into the egg.
Eggs are prepared for injection by removing the outer cells and a highly powered microscope is used to assess the egg maturity. Finally only mature eggs are carefully injected with a single sperm.
ICSI fertilizes 50% to 80% of eggs which is higher than the conventional IVF. Therefore ICSI stands superior to IVF in the indicated cases.
Even if ICSI can markedly increase your chances of a successful conception during IVF cycles, there are several risks associated with the process that intended parents must consider before choosing to undergo this procedure.
The ICSI procedure has the possibility of an overall 0.08% or eight per 1,000 births risk of having a baby with chromosomal abnormalities or damaging the eggs due to needle insertion. It can also lead to an increased risk of miscarriage, heart problems, behavior or learning disabilities, or even infertility in your child during adulthood. Due to these risks, carefully choosing a reputable and experienced ICSI fertility clinic in Lucknow is crucial.
