Fertility Treatments

Intracytoplasmic Morphologically selected Sperm Injection

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.

Signs & Symptoms

 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 Fertility Treatment with VivaVel Health – Advanced Male Infertility Care in India
Causes

 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

When to seek medical attention?

 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.

Risk Factors
  • 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

Diagnostics & Tests

 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.

Do’s & Don’ts

 Do’s:

  • Follow fertility medication schedules precisely

  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle

  • Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants

  • Attend all follow-up visits

  • Manage stress and get adequate rest
