IMSI (Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection) is an enhanced form of ICSI where sperms are examined under a high-magnification microscope (up to 6000x) to select the healthiest and most morphologically normal sperm for injection into the egg. This increases the likelihood of fertilization and successful pregnancy, especially in cases of male infertility.
ICSI involves injecting a sperm into an egg using standard microscopy (~400x magnification).
IMSI uses digital imaging with much higher magnification (~6000x), allowing embryologists to exclude sperm with abnormalities.
This detailed selection process boosts embryo quality, especially in couples with repeated IVF failures or unexplained infertility.
If you’re looking for IMSI Treatment in Navi Mumbai, Vashi, Mumbai, or Dombivli, Lifeline IVF offers customized fertility plans that address male factor infertility through advanced techniques like IMSI.
The male partner provides a semen sample through ejaculation or surgical retrieval to obtain sperm necessary for the fertilization process in assisted reproduction procedures.
Using a 6000x microscope, embryologists select sperm free from vacuoles or deformities, ensuring only the healthiest sperm are chosen for injection into the egg.
The female partner receives hormonal injections to stimulate egg production, and multiple mature eggs are retrieved using ultrasound-guided aspiration under mild sedation or anesthesia.
A single, healthy sperm selected through IMSI is directly injected into each mature egg using microneedles under high-magnification guidance for successful fertilization.
Fertilized eggs are cultured in a controlled lab environment for 3 to 5 days while experts monitor growth, division, and embryo quality for transfer.
Our fertility specialists evaluate medical history, semen analysis, hormonal tests, and ultrasound to customize your ICSI treatment plan.
The female partner receives hormonal injections to stimulate multiple egg production.
Mature eggs are collected via a minimally invasive procedure under ultrasound guidance.
A sperm sample is surgically collected or retrieved. Healthy sperm is selected using high magnification.
A single motile sperm is injected into each mature egg using a micro-needle under a microscope.
Fertilized eggs (embryos) are cultured in a lab for three to five days. The highest quality embryos are chosen for transfer.
A selected embryo is placed in the uterus for implantation.
A beta-hCG test is done 10–14 days after transfer to confirm pregnancy.
ICSI treatment costs in India vary depending on location, clinic expertise, and technology. used, and additional procedures required. At Lifeline IVF, we offer transparent, affordable, and ethical pricing.
At our Mumbai and Navi Mumbai centers, the ICSI treatment cost typically ranges from ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,00,000 per cycle.
Large-scale studies show ICSI babies are as healthy as naturally conceived babies. However, a minor increase in birth defects is noted, which could be related to parental infertility rather than the procedure.
