ICSI

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced fertility treatment used in conjunction with IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). It involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. ICSI is particularly beneficial for couples facing severe male infertility issues, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a leading fertility specialist, offers ICSI as part of her comprehensive approach to helping couples achieve their dream of parenthood.

ICSI is recommended for individuals and couples facing:

• Severe Male Infertility: Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape.
• Previous IVF Failure: When fertilization did not occur during standard IVF.
• Frozen Sperm: Using frozen or surgically retrieved sperm (e.g., from a testicular biopsy).
• Unexplained Infertility: When no clear cause of infertility is found.
• Egg or Sperm Abnormalities: Issues that prevent natural fertilization.

The ICSI process is a precise and highly specialized procedure performed by Dr. Kanchi Khurana and her team. Here’s how it works:

• Ovulation Stimulation: Fertility medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
• Egg Retrieval: A minor surgical procedure is performed to collect eggs from the ovaries.
• Sperm Collection: A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a donor. In cases of severe male infertility, sperm may be retrieved surgically.
• Fertilization:  A single healthy sperm is selected and injected directly into an egg using a fine needle under a microscope.
• Embryo Development: Fertilized eggs (embryos) are monitored for growth and development over several days.
• Embryo Transfer: One or more healthy embryos are transferred into the uterus.
• Pregnancy Test: A blood test is conducted about 10-14 days after the transfer to confirm pregnancy.

ICSI offers several advantages:

• High Success Rates: Especially effective for couples with severe male infertility.
• Precision: Ensures fertilization even with limited or poor-quality sperm.
• Versatility: Can be used with fresh or frozen sperm and eggs.
• Hope for Severe Cases: Provides a solution for couples who may not succeed with standard IVF.

• Expertise: With years of experience in advanced fertility treatments, Dr. Kanchi Khurana is a trusted name in reproductive medicine.
• Personalized Care: She tailors each ICSI cycle to your unique needs and medical history.
• Advanced Technology: Uses state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to maximize success rates.
• Compassionate Support: Provides emotional and medical guidance throughout your fertility journey.

• Is ICSI painful?
  The egg retrieval process may involve mild discomfort, but it is typically managed with medication. The ICSI procedure itself is painless.
• How long does the ICSI process take?
  A single ICSI cycle takes about 4-6 weeks, including preparation, egg retrieval, and embryo transfer.
• What is the difference between IVF and ICSI?
  In standard IVF, eggs and sperm are combined in a dish for fertilization. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to ensure fertilization.
• Can ICSI be used with donor sperm or eggs?
  Yes, ICSI can be used with donor sperm, donor eggs, or both.
• What is the cost of ICSI?
  The cost varies depending on location and clinic, but it is generally higher than standard IVF due to the advanced techniques involved. Dr. Kanchi Khurana will provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.
