Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI) is an advanced assisted reproductive technology used to treat male-factor infertility. It is an enhanced version of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), where sperm are selected using high-magnification microscopy before being injected directly into the egg.
IMSI allows embryologists to examine sperm morphology in greater detail, improving the selection of sperm with optimal structural characteristics. This approach may lead to higher fertilization rates, improved embryo quality, and reduced miscarriage risk in selected patients.
VivaVel Health assists international patients in accessing advanced IMSI fertility treatment in India, collaborating with leading fertility centers equipped with state-of-the-art embryology laboratories.
IMSI is recommended for couples experiencing:
Severe male infertility
Poor sperm morphology
Repeated IVF or ICSI failure
High sperm DNA fragmentation
Unexplained infertility
Recurrent miscarriages
Low fertilization rates in previous ART cycles
IMSI is considered when sperm abnormalities affect fertility, which may be caused by:
Genetic abnormalities
Varicocele
Hormonal imbalances
Advanced paternal age
Lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, stress)
Environmental or occupational toxin exposure
Previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy
Medical consultation is advised if:
Pregnancy has not occurred after 12 months of unprotected intercourse
Previous IVF or ICSI cycles have failed
Semen analysis shows abnormal morphology
There is a history of recurrent pregnancy loss
Early fertility evaluation helps determine the most appropriate assisted reproductive technique.
Advanced male age
Abnormal semen parameters
Poor sperm DNA integrity
Chronic medical conditions (diabetes, infections)
History of testicular surgery or trauma
Exposure to environmental toxins
Before IMSI, fertility specialists may recommend:
Semen analysis
Sperm DNA fragmentation testing
Hormonal evaluation
Genetic testing (when indicated)
Ultrasound of testes
Female partner fertility assessment
Previous IVF/ICSI cycle evaluation
These assessments help determine whether IMSI is the most suitable option.
