What is IMSI Treatment?

IMSI treatment is an advanced technique that is an extension of ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). In the IMSI procedure, moving sperms are enlarged up to 6,000 times by embryologists. The magnification of sperm using ICSI is only a couple of hundred times.

How IMSI Works

  • Ultra-High Magnification: The high power enables our lab team to visualize the minute structural defects on the head of the sperm which are not visible under regular microscopes.
  • Better Sperm Morphology: We select sperm with the best size, shape, and structure (sperm morphology).
  • Healthy Fertilisation: The healthiest sperm is injected directly into the egg, resulting in better embryo development. 

Who May Benefit from IMSI?

Not all patients needing assisted reproductive technology will need IMSI. At Little Angel IVF, Dr. Mona Dahiya and our expert team conduct a detailed assessment of each couple and determine whether this procedure is necessary.

If you have any of the following, you can use IMSI:

  • Severe male infertility (very low sperm count or poor motility).
  • A high percentage of abnormally shaped sperm (poor sperm morphology).
  • High sperm DNA damage or fragmentation
  • Failed ICSI attempts in the past.
  • Failure of IVF or miscarriage of pregnancy for no known reason. 

The IMSI Procedure Step-by-Step

Step What Happens
1. Consultation Our fertility specialist reviews your medical history and semen analysis reports.
2. Semen Collection A semen sample is collected and prepared in our advanced IVF laboratory.
3. High-Magnification Selection The embryologist examines sperm at 6,000x magnification to choose the healthiest one.
4. Microinjection The selected super-quality sperm is injected directly into the retrieved egg.
5. Embryo Culture The fertilized eggs grow into embryos inside our specialized incubators.
6. Embryo Transfer The healthiest embryo is gently transferred into the woman’s uterus.
