ICSI Treatment in Guntur

ICSI or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection and ICSI treatment in Guntur is a kind of assisted fertility procedure in which the sperm usually the strongest of the lot, the single sperm is directed injected into a fertilised egg. The need for ICSI has been noticed in cases with severe male infertility or with couples whose IVF or In vitro fertilization has not worked. It is a process which is both time taking and risky.

Steps in ICSI per Fertility specialist in Guntur are:

  1. Ovarian Stimulation: The female's ovaries are stimulated so as to induce the follicles to release egg. The behaviour of the ovaries are closely monitored to ensure the egg release is noted accurately. Once the egg or eggs are ready to be released, another hormone injection is given to assist with the release of egg.
  2. Egg Retrieval: In this process, the eggs are taken out through the vagina with guidance from an ultrasound and placed in the laboratory.
  3. Sperm Selection: The semen sample is taken and centrifuged in a special medium so as to separate the most active and live sperm from the remaining semen as well as dead sperms. This active motile sperm is carefully taken into a catheter and injected directly into the egg.
