Microinjection (ICSI)

Anatolian Health Hub

Microinjection, commonly known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), is a highly specialized form of IVF treatment. At Anatolian Health Hub, we utilize this advanced technique to overcome severe male infertility issues, enhancing the chances of successful fertilization and subsequent pregnancy.


In-Depth Review

The Process of ICSI at Anatolian Health Hub


  • Egg Retrieval and Selection: Following ovarian stimulation, we retrieve and select mature eggs for the procedure.

  • Sperm Injection: Each selected egg is injected with a single sperm using a precision micromanipulator device.

  • Incubation: The injected eggs are then placed in specialized incubators, providing an optimal environment for fertilization.

  • Fertilization Check: Approximately 16-18 hours post-injection, we assess the eggs for signs of successful fertilization.

Duration of the ICSI Phase

The duration of the ICSI procedure typically ranges from 10-20 minutes, depending on the number of mature eggs. The fertilization status is checked the day following the procedure.

Advantages of ICSI at Anatolian Health Hub


  • High Fertilization Rate: ICSI boasts a fertilization rate of approximately 80%, significantly higher than traditional IVF.

  • Effective for Severe Male Infertility: Even with extremely low sperm counts or poor motility, ICSI enables successful fertilization.

  • Useful for Surgically Retrieved Sperm: Ideal for situations where sperm must be extracted directly from the testicles (PESA/TESE).

  • Increases Chances of Conception: Particularly beneficial for couples who have experienced previous IVF failures.

Success Rates of ICSI


  • High Fertilization Success: With mobile, normal-looking sperm, the fertilization rate is around 80%.

  • Varied Rates with Surgical Sperm Retrieval: If sperm is obtained surgically due to azoospermia, fertilization rates might be lower.

ICSI vs. IVF: Understanding the Differences


  • Fertilization Method: The key difference lies in the fertilization process. In IVF, sperm fertilizes the egg naturally, whereas, in ICSI, sperm is injected directly into the egg.

  • Sperm Issues: ICSI is preferred in cases of significant sperm-related problems or unexplained infertility.

Gender Determination in ICSI

The sex of the baby is determined by the sperm's chromosome. However, during ICSI, it's not possible to control or determine the sex chromosome of the selected sperm, making gender selection a natural outcome.

Conclusion

At Anatolian Health Hub, our commitment to employing cutting-edge fertility treatments like ICSI exemplifies our dedication to helping you realize your dream of parenthood. With a combination of advanced technology, expert care, and a compassionate approach, we strive to provide a supportive and effective fertility journey for every couple.
