What Is Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) Treatment?
Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) is an advanced ART technique for severe male infertility cases. It involves using high-magnification microscopy (up to 6,000 times) to select sperm based on their shape and structure before injecting them into eggs. This detailed selection aims to improve fertilization and embryo quality by choosing sperm with better morphology. IMSI is beneficial when conventional IVF or ICSI has failed or when male infertility issues are prominent, potentially increasing the success rates of fertility treatments. However, it’s not universally available or necessary for all couples seeking infertility treatment.
