IVF/ICSI Treatment In Chennai
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced technique used alongside standard In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). During ICSI, a single, healthy sperm is meticulously injected directly into the center of a mature egg, whereas standard IVF relies on sperm fertilizing the egg naturally in a laboratory dish.
The Step-by-Step ProcessBoth treatments follow a similar sequence of procedures, diverging only at the fertilization stage
Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal medications are used to stimulate the ovaries so they produce multiple mature eggs.
Egg Retrieval: Eggs are collected from the ovaries in a minor surgical procedure under sedation.
Fertilization:
In IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together in a lab dish and allowed to fertilize naturally.
In ICSI, a specialized embryologist uses a microscopic needle to inject a single, carefully selected sperm directly into the center of a mature egg.
Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs (embryos) are grown in an incubator for 3 to 6 days.
Embryo Transfer: One or more embryos are placed into the woman's uterus, with the goal of achieving a successful pregnancy.
