What’s IMSI?
IMSI, Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Named Sperm Injection is a fashion used along with IVF treatment, to help a couple in conceiving. In IMSI fertility treatment, a single sperm is named with the help of a high- exaggeration digital imaging microscope and is morphologically fitted into the egg.
Why perform IMSI?
The microscope which is used to elect the sperm magnifies it by nearly times. This enables the croaker to determine the structure of the sperm and exclude the sperm that exhibits abnormalities, which isn’t possible in ICSI treatment.
It’s for men who have a large number of abnormal sperm and failed IVF with ICSI treatments in the history. IMSI IVF is a new and advanced fashion, which increases the possibility of fertilization and normal embryo development.
Why is IMSI IVF treatment done?
There are certain reasons why your croaker might recommend you to get IMSI treatment done. They are-
The volume of sperm in the semen sample is veritably low.
The proportion of abnormally shaped sperm is veritably high.
Sperm have poor motility.
Sperm has recovered via surgery.
Have a history of failed ICSI IVF attempts.
Semen has a high position of DNA fragmentation
The age of the joker is further than 40 times.
The couple has had multiple deliveries and revocations in the history.
How is IMSI performed?
IMSI Procedure-
Semen Sample Collection and Preparation
A sample of semen ( fresh or frozen) is collected and prepared by the embryologist. For medication, all the contaminations are removed from the sample by treating it with a specific result.
Sperm Selection
For injection, the embryologist will now elect a sperm by examining them under a microscope. The microscope will allow the embryologist to look at the sperm through a exaggeration of further than 6000X. This ensures that the sperm named is of the stylish quality and health.
Egg Selection
Just like ICSI, the eggs are collected from the womanish mate and washed to remove the unwanted patches. The eggs are also examined under a microscope and healthy bones are named for fertilization with the sperm.
Sperm Injection
The named sperm (s) is also put in a fine glass needle and also fitted into the chosen egg (s) for fertilization. This fertilized egg (s) is dressed in a sterile culture petri dish in an incubator.
Embryo Transfer
Once the embryo (s) have been dressed and are ready to be transferred, the womanish mate will be called to the clinic and will have the embryo (s) fitted into her uterus.
After roughly 14 days (2 weeks), a gestation test will be done to check if gestation has been achieved or not.
What are the pitfalls involved in IMSI treatment?
IMSI is prone to the same pitfalls, as ICSI. they’re as follows-
A manly child born with the help of Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Named Sperm Injection (IMSI) is more prone to fertility issues in the future. This happens due to the end of gravidity genetics from the father to the baby.
There are over to 3 chances of a major birth disfigurement in an IMSI baby. They are-Beckwith-Wiedemann pattern, Angelman pattern, coitus chromosome abnormalities, and hypospadias.
Some fertilized eggs (< 2) don’t grow into healthy embryos. This is because they might get damaged during the IMSI procedure as it’s more invasive and requires further work as compared to a standard IVF procedure.
To increase the chances of achieving gestation, multiple embryos are implanted inside the uterus of the woman, so that at least one embryo can develop duly. Still, this increases the chances of multiple gravidity.
Multiple gravidity can further increase the chances of complications like-early labor, high blood pressure, gravid diabetes, and the need for a c- section.
IMSI treatment cost in India
All the centers in India aim to give the stylish IMSI IVF treatment at an profitable cost, to insure that a common man can go it. The cost of ART fashion-IVF increases when advanced fertility treatments like IMSI are added. The average cost of IMSI IVF treatment in India is between to INR.
The cost of IMSI treatment is roughly to INR further than ICSI treatment, as it allows the fertility croaker to choose the stylish sperm with no abnormalities to fit into the womanish mate, which increases the success rate of generality.
The success rate of IMSI treatment in India
The success rate of IMSI treatment in India is high as compared to other advanced countries. Then the success rate of IMSI treatment is around 70 to 80. This is the reason why India has people coming from each over the world to get their gravidity treatments done every time.
There are over to 3 chances of a major birth disfigurement in an ICSI baby. They are-Beckwith-Wiedemann pattern, Angelman pattern, coitus chromosome abnormalities, and hypospadias.
