What is IMSI Treatment?

Intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection or IMSI is a specialized type of sperm selection technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) to increase the chances of fertilization and a successful pregnancy.

The procedure helps a doctor distinguish between the structures of different sperm and exclude sperm with suspected variations using high-power magnification. Only the best quality sperm are chosen to be injected into the female egg.

Am I the Right Candidate for IMSI?

The right candidate for IMSI is a couple with a history of IVF treatment failure or poor results with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment.

Couples struggling with severe male fertility problems, like a very low sperm count, abnormal semen motility, or high levels of antibodies in the male semen, are also considered to be good candidates for undergoing IMSI treatment.

IMSI Treatment Procedure at a Glance

After collecting the semen sample from the male partner, the best sperm are chosen using a high magnification digital imaging microscope. The chosen sperm are directly injected into the retrieved female eggs in a laboratory.

The fertilized eggs or embryos formed will then be monitored and the healthy embryos will be transferred to the female partner’s uterus (womb) for possible implantation to the uterine wall and subsequent pregnancy.

Who Should Undergo IMSI Treatment?

IMSI is generally recommended in the following cases:

  • Severe male factor infertility
  • Low sperm count
  • Poor sperm motility
  • Many abnormally shaped sperm
  • History of failed IVF or ICSI treatments
  • Advanced maternal age
  • Advanced paternal age
  • Recurrent miscarriages
  • Unexplained infertility

Preparation for IMSI Treatment

If a couple has been trying to conceive naturally for at least one year without any success, it is time to visit a fertility specialist.

The fertility specialist will evaluate both partners physically, ask about their sexual life and history, medical history, history of previous pregnancies or miscarriages, history of failed IVF or ICSI treatments, and if either of the partners has any unusual symptoms.

A few diagnostic tests may be recommended before starting any kind of fertility treatment.

Based on the assessment of the fertility specialist and the test results, if IMSI is considered to be the most suitable treatment option for the couple, the doctor will explain the procedure in detail to the couple, what to expect during and after the procedure, potential benefits and risks of the treatment, and the chances of success.

IMSI Treatment Procedure

IMSI treatment is done in the following step-wise manner:

  • Ovarian stimulation: The female partner is prescribed some fertility drugs to stimulate her ovaries to produce many mature eggs.
  • Egg retrieval: After the ovarian follicles reach an optimal size, a minor surgery is performed to retrieve the female eggs from the ovaries.
  • Sperm collection: A semen sample is taken from the male partner on the day of the egg retrieval. In severe male infertility cases, the sperm may have to be retrieved by surgery.
  • Sperm selection with high magnification: The sperm with the best shape and structure, also known as morphology, will be selected by observing the sperm under a microscope having a high magnification of about 6000x. The aim is to avoid injecting male sperm having abnormalities that could reduce the chances of fertilization or the quality of the embryo formed.
  • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI): After selecting the best male sperm, each sperm will be directly injected into individual female eggs using a fine needle in a laboratory. This process helps bypass the natural barriers that could prevent the male sperm from reaching and fertilizing the female egg.
  • Monitoring the fertilized eggs: The growth and development of the fertilized eggs or embryos will be monitored in the laboratory for the next three to five days.
  • Embryo transfer: After the embryos reach their desired developmental stage, one or more high-quality embryos will be transferred into the female partner’s uterus using a catheter. If the embryo gets implanted into the uterine wall, a pregnancy occurs.
  • Pregnancy test: 10 to 14 days after the transfer of the embryo, a blood test is recommended to check for pregnancy.
