Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

Microinjection for pregnancy and childbirth is a medical procedure used to treat infertility in couples who have difficulty conceiving naturally. This procedure aims to increase the chances of pregnancy in couples facing issues that hinder conception, such as sperm abnormalities, egg problems, or other factors that make pregnancy difficult.

Microinjection for pregnancy involves the following steps:

1. Preparation of Eggs: The woman usually takes hormones to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual in one cycle.

2. Extraction of Eggs: Eggs are extracted from the ovaries using a fine needle under the guidance of ultrasound waves.

3. Preparation of Sperm: The man provides a sample of sperm, and the process of separating viable sperm for use in the injection occurs.

4. Microinjection: The selected sperm are placed with the egg in a small tube under the microscope, and the sperm is injected directly into the egg.

5. Maintenance of Eggs: After injection, the fertilized eggs are placed in a specific environment in the laboratory to allow them to divide and develop for several days.

6. Preparation for Embryo Transfer: After examining the embryo to ensure its good development, it can be transferred to the woman's uterus.

7. Embryo Transfer: The selected embryo is transferred into the woman's uterus, where it awaits implantation into the uterine wall and continues to develop, ultimately leading to pregnancy.

The woman is carefully monitored after the transfer to observe the pregnancy's progress. Microinjection for pregnancy and childbirth is a common procedure for treating infertility and has helped many couples achieve the dream of having a child. The success rates of the procedure vary from case to case depending on several factors such as the woman's age, her health condition, and other factors. This procedure should be performed under the supervision of a specialist in infertility treatment.
