ICSI Treatment
While exploring all your options to start your journey of parenthood with the help of IVF, you are likely to come across the term ‘ICSI’ a lot. Apart from being the most significant part of the IVF process, it is also the biggest contributing factor to the total IVF package cost. Read further to know more about the ICSI treatment cost in Bangalore and how it can vary.
What Is ICSI?
ICSI or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is one of the most advanced techniques in assisted reproductive technology. Here, a healthy sperm is injected directly into the center of the female egg with the help of a fine needle, called the micropipette. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo(s) is placed inside the female’s womb for implantation.
ICSI Treatment Cost In Bangalore
ICSI is a procedure that can only help increase your chances of a successful conception. There is no guarantee that the treatment will work in one cycle, two cycles, or work at all. You may need a few cycles of ICSI until you can reach success and each cycle comes at a cost. Therefore, your ICSI treatment cost in any center in Bangalore varies based on the number of cycles it takes for you to conceive successfully.
Moreover, the ICSI treatment cost also varies based on location. The price may differ from one city to the other. The ICSI cost in Bangalore is one of the most affordable options for couples from not only India but all over the world. Usually, the ICSI treatment cost ranges between Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 1,50,000. The treatments come with a much higher success rate compared to the other Assisted Reproductive Techniques and are, therefore, worth every penny paid.
How Does ICSI Work?
For couples with male factor infertility such as low motility or sperm count, our doctors can directly insert the sperm into the eggs. This process is often regarded as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection or ICSI.ICSI is an advanced form of IVF treatment. Here’s a brief explanation of how the treatment usually happens:
-
- Your fertility expert will prescribe your fertility medicine to get prepared for the procedure.
- These medicines help in the formation of healthy eggs and sperms in that particular cycle.
- With the help of a transvaginal ultrasound, your doctor will check the maturity of the egg.
- Once the eggs have reached the optimal maturity size, the doctor will retrieve the eggs with the help of a hollow needle.
- On the same day, the male semen sample is also collected. In case the semen has very few or no healthy sperms, the doctor may try to retrieve healthy sperms directly from the testicles using a syringe.
- From the recovered sperms, the healthiest sperm is identified and washed for the ICSI procedure.
- The fertility specialist will inject this sperm directly into the egg in a laboratory, using a micropipette.
- Once fertilization occurs, the embryos are left in the laboratory for a few days to develop.
- And after they are ready for implantation, the doctor will place them inside your womb for implantation.
When Is ICSI Recommended?
ICSI is essentially a treatment recommended to couples who cannot conceive naturally. In most cases, the male partner having low sperm count, quality, or motility causes the infertility. Here are some of the plausible scenarios in which your fertility specialist may recommend the ICSI treatment to you as part of your IVF treatment:
- Your sperm count is very low.
- Your sperms are shaped abnormally or have poor motility or movement.
- You have tried the traditional IVF treatment earlier and no or very few embryos were recovered.
- The sperms need to be retrieved directly from the testicles or epididymis because of issues like blockage, vasectomy, injury, or a disease.
- You’re using a frozen sperm that isn’t of the highest quality.
