Description

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized fertility treatment offered at Dr. Ishita Ganguly's Test Tube Baby Center, Gynec, and IVF Clinic in Indore. ICSI is primarily used to treat severe male infertility and involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. ### The ICSI Treatment Process 1. **Initial Consultation and Assessment**: The treatment begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Ishita Ganguly reviews the couple's medical history and conducts necessary fertility tests. This assessment helps determine if ICSI is the most suitable treatment option. 2. **Ovarian Stimulation and Monitoring**: Similar to conventional IVF, the woman undergoes ovarian stimulation using fertility medications to produce multiple eggs. The development of the eggs is monitored through ultrasound scans and hormonal tests. 3. **Egg Retrieval**: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries through a minor surgical procedure called follicular aspiration, which is performed under sedation. 4. **Sperm Collection and Preparation**: A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a sperm donor. The sperm is then processed in the laboratory to isolate the healthiest and most motile sperm. 5. **Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)**: Using a fine needle, a single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of each mature egg. This meticulous process increases the chances of fertilization, especially in cases of severe male infertility. 6. **Embryo Development**: The fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured in the laboratory for several days. The development of the embryos is closely monitored by embryologists. 7. **Embryo Transfer**: After a few days, the best quality embryos are selected and transferred into the woman's uterus using a thin catheter. This procedure is similar to a Pap smear and is typically painless. 8. **Post-Procedure Care and Monitoring**: Following the embryo transfer, patients may be advised to rest and avoid strenuous activities. Hormonal support medications may be prescribed to enhance the chances of implantation. A pregnancy test is conducted two weeks after the embryo transfer to determine the success of the treatment. ### Benefits of ICSI Treatment - **Overcoming Male Infertility**: ICSI is highly effective for couples facing severe male infertility issues such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology. - **High Fertilization Rates**: Direct injection of sperm into the egg increases the likelihood of successful fertilization. - **Utilization of Limited Sperm**: Even with a very low number of viable sperm, ICSI can still be performed. - **Enhanced Success Rates**: When combined with IVF, ICSI significantly improves the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy. ### Why Choose Dr. Ishita Ganguly's Clinic for ICSI?
