ICSI Treatment in Bangkok

Designed for couples dealing with male infertility, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialist fertility treatment. At Bangkok Central Clinic, we help couples realize their goal of becoming a parent by combining modern technologies with professional treatment.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, ICSI

What is ICSI?

Sperm-related infertility is the reason almost half of couples trying for a child do not succeed. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection or ICSI is the most often used present day treatment for male infertility. It is also the most effective kind of treatment for male infertility.

Under the highly advanced IVF technique known as ICSI, one single sperm is directly inserted into an egg to help fertilization. In situations of male infertility, including low sperm count or poor motility, it is particularly effective and helps raise the possibility of conception occurring.

Who is ICSI Suitable For?

ICSI treatment may be recommended if you have a low sperm count, your sperm have an abnormal shape, you have had unsuccessful IVF treatments, you’re using frozen sperm, or you need your sperm to be collected surgically. In Bangkok, ICSI is often performed as part of an IVF treatment, in which a pre-selected healthy sperm sample is injected directly into the cytoplasm of a mature egg. 

ICSI is recommended for:

  • Men with a very low sperm count
  • Poor sperm motility or morphology
  • Previous failed fertilization with traditional IVF
  • Couples with unexplained infertility
  • Couples using frozen sperm or eggs
  • Cases of sperm retrieval directly from the testes

The ICSI Treatment Process

The ICSI process is designed to assist in the fertilization of the egg using a healthy sperm sample, and it is very effective in doing so. Around 90% of all ICSI treatments result in egg fertilization. ICSI involves the male patient depositing a sperm sample into a specimen container, at which point it is tested and analyzed to find the healthiest sperm possible. The selected sperm is then used to conduct an IVF treatment.

Here is a brief summary of the main steps in the process:

  • Ovarian Stimulation: Similar to IVF, hormone injections stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
  • Egg Retrieval: The eggs are collected through a minimally invasive procedure.
  • Sperm Collection: Sperm can be collected naturally or through surgical extraction if needed.
  • Fertilization: A single healthy sperm is injected directly into each egg using a microscopic needle.
  • Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs are monitored as they develop into embryos over a few days.
  • Embryo Transfer: A high-quality embryo is transferred into the uterus.
  • Pregnancy Test: A blood test confirms pregnancy about two weeks after the embryo transfer.

Success Rates of ICSI

ICSI has a high success rate, particularly in cases of male infertility. The success rate is not only reliant on the spermatozoa but also on the oocyte’s ability to be fertilized. If the oocytes are fertilized, they grow into embryos. The embryo is assessed on its quality after the process. The efficacy of cryopreserving the embryo must also be given keen attention. 

The embryo is further subjected to more screening during the fertilization process and after implantation to check for acquired chromosomal deformities and corrections. The selection process is important for the success of the ICSI process. The selection process requires a highly skilled embryologist as the procedure involves a highly intensive process, which leads to blastocyst development of embryos until successful transfer back to the patient.

The outcome also depends on the age of the woman, the quality of the eggs, and other health factors. Our team will provide a thorough assessment to determine the most effective approach for your situation.

Benefits of ICSI Treatment

  • Addresses Severe Male Infertility: ICSI is often the most effective option for men with low sperm count or other sperm-related issues.
  • Maximizes Chances of Fertilization: Direct sperm injection ensures that the egg has the best chance of being fertilized.
  • Tailored Approach: Every ICSI treatment plan is personalized based on individual fertility needs and health conditions.

Risks and Considerations of ICSI

ICSI is generally safe but may involve risks such as multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and very rare genetic issues due to sperm quality. At Bangkok Central Clinic, we take extra care to minimize risks and provide the safest possible treatment.
