IMSI: Intracytoplasmic Morphologically selected Sperm Injection

IMSI in Tunisia: What is it?

IMSI is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) or In Vitro Fertilization technique. IMSI, Intra cytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection, is an improved version of ICSI. IMSI involves performing ICSI with sperm previously sorted at a very high magnification. Better sperm selection would lead to better embryo quality (euploidy) and improve implantation rates.

What are the indications for IMSI?

IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to treat male infertility problems. It is recommended for couples who have difficulty conceiving a child due to male infertility.

IMSI allows the selection of sperm with normal morphology thanks to a magnification of about 6000 times, compared to a magnification of 400 times with the traditional ICSI technique. This technique adapts to cases of severe male infertility, where there are few morphologically normal sperm.

Before proceeding with IMSI, a complete medical assessment is carried out to determine the causes of infertility. The results of this assessment will allow the PMA specialist to determine whether IMSI is the best technique for the couple and whether there are other factors that could influence the outcome of the treatment.

IMSI, IVF and ICSI: Understanding the differences and advantages for infertility treatment

IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) are two common infertility treatment techniques. IVF IMSI is a combination of these two techniques. This combination consists of:

1. selecting the most viable sperm
2. injecting them directly into the eggs using a very fine needle.

• the woman’s age,
• the quality of the eggs,
• the health of the uterus,
• the quality of the sperm used.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a technique similar to IMSI, but it uses a different selection method. While IMSI uses a high-resolution lens to examine the morphology of the sperm, ICSI selects sperm based on their motility. Although IMSI and ICSI are similar, it is important to discuss with your fertility specialist to determine which technique is best suited to your individual situation. Similarly, IMSI and IVF can also be used interchangeably with ICSI or standard IVF. Ultimately, the decision to use IMSI or ICSI will depend on the underlying cause of infertility and the results of fertility tests.

Fertilization for an Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection cycle

IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) is an in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique used to treat male infertility. The IMSI procedure is similar to the ICSI procedure, but it uses a high-power microscope to select the healthiest sperm.

The IMSI procedure for fertilization of a cycle is generally as follows:

IMSI is a complex process that requires expertise and specialized laboratory equipment. Selecting the healthiest sperm can help increase the chances of IVF success, especially in couples with male infertility.

Who is Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection for?

IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) is an in vitro fertilization (IVF) technique. This technique is mainly aimed at couples facing male infertility. IMSI allows the selection of the healthiest sperm to increase the chances of fertilization of the egg.

IMSI is particularly recommended for men with:

• low sperm concentration,
• low sperm motility,
• abnormal sperm morphology.

IMSI can also be used in other cases, such as couples who have undergone several unsuccessful attempts at IVF or ICSI, or couples who have a history of miscarriages.

Ultimately, the use of IMSI will depend on the individual circumstances of each couple and the results of thorough medical evaluations carried out by fertility specialists. It is important to discuss with your doctor the feasibility of this technique and the advantages and disadvantages compared to other fertility treatment options.

What are the steps in the IMSI procedure?

On the day of the procedure, an embryologist prepares a sample of fresh or frozen sperm. Under the microscope, the technician specially trained in IMSI and ICSI techniques selects a single sperm to inject using a magnification of x6600. As with ICSI, after collecting the sperm, the doctor selects the sperm to inject. Using a fine glass needle, the sperm is aspirated and then injected into the selected egg. The injected eggs are cultured in sterile labeled culture dishes in an incubator overnight.

Affordable IMSI price in Tunisia

The price of Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection in Tunisia can vary depending on several factors such as the clinic, the city, the number of cycles required and the level of expertise of the fertility specialist. However, in general, the cost of IMSI in Tunisia is generally lower than in many other countries.

The average price of an IMSI cycle in Tunisia is much lower than in other countries. In addition, some establishments offer treatment packages for several cycles, which can reduce overall costs.

The cost of IMSI should not be the only factor considered when choosing a fertility clinic in Tunisia. It is essential to look for clinics that have a good reputation, qualified staff, technical expertise and proven experience in treating infertility.

Do we have better results with Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection?

The results of IMSI in Tunisia are similar to those obtained worldwide. However, it is important to note that the success rate of this procedure varies depending on many factors:

• woman’s age,
• quality of eggs,
• health of the uterus,
• number of treatment cycles,
• quality of sperm used.

In general, the success rates of IMSI in Tunisia are quite high, reaching up to 50% per treatment cycle. However, it must be remembered that the success rate can vary from one patient to another. Moreover, there is no guarantee of pregnancy with this infertility treatment technique.

It is necessary to work with a qualified and experienced fertility specialist to obtain the best possible results with IMSI in Tunisia. By discussing all fertility treatment options and working closely with your doctor, you can increase your chances of successfully conceiving a child.
