How does the ICSI procedure work?
In the procedure of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), the doctor fertilizes the eggs by hand using a glass pipette to carefully enforce the sperm into the egg. The clinic will incubate eggs, make sure it is divided, and implant one or more in a woman with a hope of achieving pregnancy. This procedure for assisted reproduction is available at many fertility clinics and patients considering ICSI may want to get information about the degree of success to decide where they want to go. The man must not produce enough sperm to impregnate his partner, but the procedure of ICSI could allow doctors to fertilize sperm to fertilize partner eggs. Patients sometimes require this procedure if they have difficulty in fertilization in vitro and other techniques. It is a very delicate process and requires an attentive and stable hand.
The first step in the ICSI procedure is ovarian stimulation for a woman. The woman will take medication to stimulate more follicles to evolve so that the doctor can harvest several eggs using ultrasound to seeL ovaries and collecting eggs with needle. The doctor wants as many eggs as possible to increase the chances of success. Technicians incubate eggs and when one or more mature, the doctor requires sample sample.
The physician examines the sperm under the microscope to look for any active sperm. If they are present, the doctor sucks in a very fine glass needle. Using the suction pipette to hold the egg on site, the doctor pushes the needle into the egg to release the sperm. After the ICSI procedure, the egg returns to the incubation to see if they are insemination and begin to divide. The doctor chooses the strongest for implantation.
The ICSI procedure has some risks. Ovarian stimulation can cause a woman's side effects of a woman will have to consider them in preparation. With pregnancy, there is also an increased chance of abortion and chromosomal abnormalities tend to be more common in ICSI than in the normal population. A physician may recommend preimplantation genetic diagnosis tothe dividing embryo was checked for any common abnormalities so that the couple could decide which ones wanted to implant them. A doctor can look for genetic states incompatible with life specifically to avoid implantation of embryos that will not survive pregnancy.
