Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI treatment in Bangalore

ICSI treatment in Bangalore

Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals provides ICSI treatment in Bangalore for the conception of couples. A strong assisted reproductive technology, ICSI has helped couples in many cases to overcome infertility. In ICSI treatment, a single sperm is injected directly into the egg, thus increasing the chances of fertilisation. Our team of highly experienced and compassionate doctors will guide you through the ICSI process, answering any questions you may have along the way.

The head of the sperm needs to attach on the outside wall of the egg during fertilisation. When it sticks, it then pushes through the outer layer into the within of the egg (cytoplasm) for fertilisation.

Sometimes, sperm cannot penetrate the outer layer due to various reasons. The outer layer might be too thick, making it difficult for the sperm to penetrate through it, and sometimes the sperm might not be able to swim. A procedure known as Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be done in conjunction with in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to assist fertilisation with the egg. In ICSI, one sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of the egg.

ICSI is part of IVF. Since ICSI takes place in the laboratory, your IVF treatment will not seem much different than an IVF treatment without ICSI, and again similar to standard IVF procedure, the female partner shall receive ovarian stimulation drugs followed by various blood tests as well as ultrasounds which a fertility specialist will monitor you up until the point where your female partner has grown mature enough good-sized follicles and then she will get what is known as an egg retrieval procedure, which usually involves removal of your eggs through a specific ultrasound guided needle.

We know that ICSI treatment can be quite overwhelming. Therefore, we ensure complete care is given to our patients. Our high-tech ICSI centre in Bangalore is fully equipped with the latest technology and staffed by experienced medical professionals dedicated to your success. This is an ICSI procedure, wherein healthy sperms are chosen and then, with a specialised micropipette, are deposited directly into the egg. At our facility, you will receive care and compassionate attention from us regarding all the steps along the treatment process for an ICSI.

Why would I want ICSI?

ICSI helps to overcome infertility problems amongst others:

  • Low sperm counts for IUI or IVF.
  • The sperms cannot move normally.
  • The sperms cannot bind to the egg.
  • There is blockage in the male tract and therefore the sperms cannot travel out.
  • There are eggs that are left unfertilized by their normal methods of IVF based on the quality of the sperm as well.
  • Previous failed IVF cycle
  • Men with very low sperm (oligospermia) or no sperm (Azoospermia)

Will ICSI work? What is the ICSI Success Rate in Bangalore?

If you are looking for an ICSI centre in Bangalore with the maximum success rate, then it is Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals. Experienced doctors and latest technology made this possible for many couples overcoming the problem of male infertility by bringing a dream come true. We know that no two couples are alike. We tailor our treatment program accordingly. Our team strives to offer the best care to you. ICSI fertilises 50% to 80% of eggs. Fertilisation does not happen every time with ICSI when a sperm is injected inside the egg.

Fertilisation rates do not communicate anything to you regarding clinical pregnancy or birth rates. During the ICSI, problems that may be resulting in this procedure include some of or all your eggs could also be affected or destroyed.

The egg, which would not develop into the formation of an embryo after you got your sperm injected into them or is dead. Then the developing embryo stops growing.

The chance of conceiving a single baby, twins, or triplets with IVF and ICSI in a couple once fertilisation occurs is the same.

What are the possible hazards of ICSI?

Even though ICSI treatment may be very successful for a couple in combating male infertility, it has some risks: multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and birth defects. Experienced physicians here talk to you at length over the risks and will help plan treatment together to minimise risk as well as maximise one's possibility of success in it. Trust us to give you nothing but top-quality care steps in every stage.

The chance of the baby having defects is between 1.5% and 3% in case a woman conceives naturally. The defect that is associated with ICSI is like IVF but slightly higher than that in natural conception.

The higher risk of defects may be due to infertility and not the treatments used to overcome infertility.

Specific disorders found to be associated with this use of ICSI involve Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Angelman syndrome, hypospadias, and sex chromosome abnormalities. These occur in less than 1% of children conceived through this technology.

It is possible that some causes of infertility are heritable. For children conceived with the help of ICSI, males would have the same conditions to contend with as their father.

ICSI treatment cost:

Most infertile couples find ICSI treatment in Bangalore too expensive. Believing everyone deserves the best of care, we at Dr. Kamini Rao Hospitals ensure not to compromise on quality or success rates while offering affordable ICSI treatment in Bangalore.

Experienced doctors and state-of-the-art technology make you safe in our hands, regardless of your budget. We try our best to make it reasonable by flexible payment plans and working with a variety of insurance providers.

There are several steps included in the ICSI:
  • Stimulation of the Female Partner: Medications are introduced into the female partner with a view to stimulating their ovaries to produce some eggs.
  • Monitoring: Sonographies and blood tests are continually taken to monitor the presence and growth of follicles.
  • Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are drawn through a guided ultrasound operation.
  • Sperm Injection: One selected sperm is put straight into the cytoplasm of each egg by an injection.
  • Embryos Development: The implanted eggs are monitored as the egg develops into an embryo.
Yes, the chance of multiple conceptions, such as twins, triplets, etc., is like conventional IVF procedures and depends on the number of embryos transferred.
ICSI success rates for fertilisation range between 50% to 80%. However, many other factors influence the clinical pregnancy as well as live birth from the procedure, which include age and general health condition of the couple.
