Effective Male Infertility Treatment: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

 Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is a procedure done in a laboratory where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg through a fine glass needle to make embryos. This procedure is done when the male partner of a couple has extremely low sperm count or low motility or poor shape. It can also be done when the male partner has no sperms in the semen sample, a condition called azoospermia. According to one of the best gynecologists in Delhi, Dr.Astha Chakravarty, this treatment is recommended when the sperm concentration is whether less than 5 million per millimeter or sperm has some abnormalities.

She also opines that there are various  other  condition in  which sperm cannot penetrate the egg eg when the outer a layer  of the egg is too thick. That’s why ICSI is done to fertilize the egg. For more information, you can visit  Asha Fertility Clinic, and consult Dr. Astha Chakravarty, one of the best infertility specialists in Faridabad.

How is ICSI performed?

It is primarily a  treatment for male-factor infertility but is also used in cases with previous IVF failures and in patients with egg abnormalities. In this treatment, eggs and sperms are collected, and then the collected sperms are washed and one healthy sperm is selected. Using a very fine needle, the sperm is injected into the egg and the fertilization process is done in the lab, and embryos are formed. Once an embryo is developed, it is placed into the uterus of the mother.

Will ICSI work?

This process fertilizes approx. 50% to 80% of eggs. But still, the following problems may occur during or after the process:

·         Some of the eggs  may be damaged.

·         The egg may not fertilize even after being injected with sperm.

·         The embryo may stop developing.

The success rate of this treatment is about 70%-80% in good hands. ICSI procedure is better than IVF because it is the most common and successful male infertility treatment.

Know about COVID-19 if you are pregnant

drasthachakravarty

As we all know about the Coronavirus outbreak almost all over the world. There are many pregnant women, who have lots of questions about their pregnancy, baby, delivery, and many more things. To get the answers to all your questions we talked to Dr. Astha Chakravarty, one of the best Gynecologists in Faridabad over a video call, and asked a few questions. Let’s started with the first question:

Question: How can you protect yourself from the deadly coronavirus?

Answer: All you need to do is to maintain good hygiene by frequently wash your hand with soap or sanitize your hands with sanitizer. Avoid going in any type of gathering even if it is in your home also. If anyone is coming from outside then maintain at least 6 ft of distance from them. Take a bath twice in a day. Go outside if urgent only otherwise stay at home. Avoid touching your nose, eyes, mouth until you wash if you coming from outside or if you are outside.

Question: Does becoming ill with the COVID-19 increase risk of miscarriage or other complications?

Answer: Well, According to the CDC, this type of risk has not been documented in any record. In research of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, if any woman becomes ill with COVID-19, she has a higher risk of preterm birth, but it is recorded in limited cases only. COVID-19 may not be the direct cause of preterm birth. I requested to all the pregnant women not to trust any type of myth.

Question: If I become sick, what is the risk of passing the virus on to my fetus or newborn?

Answer: We can’t answer this question surely but according to the small studies on limited cases of women during the third trimester of pregnancy that the risk of passing the virus to the fetus or newborn is very low. The study also showed that the virus is not present in breast milk, babies’ throat, or amniotic acid. If a woman is infected during her first trimester, immediately consult your maternity care team.

Question: Should I continue to have prenatal visits?

Answer: To ensuring fetal and maternal health, prenatal visits are important. As we are facing the global pandemic, I am requesting all the pregnant women to consult your doctor via Tele or video consultation. If any doctor is not providing this service then call your doctor and asked for the fixed time slot so that you need to wait for so long in the clinic and follow the guidelines issued by the government.

If you still have any other queries, you can contact Dr. Astha Chakravarty on call. She will guide and help you for sure. So, feel free to consult her. If you want to meet her personally, then visit the Asha Fertility Clinic, one of the best IVFCentres in Faridabad.
