Physiological Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (PICSI)

Physiological Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (PICSI)

PICSI is an advanced IVF technique that selects the healthiest sperm based on natural binding ability, improving the chances of successful fertilization, embryo development, and pregnancy outcomes. It is especially helpful for couples dealing with male infertility and repeated IVF or ICSI failures.

When to Consider PICSI?

  • High DNA fragmentation in sperm (damaged DNA)
  • Multiple failed fertilization attempts with ICSI
  • Couples with recurrent IVF/ICSI failures
  • Recurrent early pregnancy losses linked to sperm quality

Steps Involved in PICSI

  • Ovarian Stimulation: The female partner undergoes hormonal stimulation to produce mature eggs.
  • Egg Retrieval: Mature oocytes are collected from the ovaries.
  • Sperm Selection: Sperm are placed in a medium containing hyaluronic acid, where only mature, healthy sperm bind—mimicking the body’s natural selection process.
  • Fertilization: Selected sperm are injected into the eggs using ICSI.
  • Embryo Culture & Transfer: Fertilized embryos are monitored and the healthiest are transferred to the uterus.

Benefits of PICSI

  • Improves embryo quality by selecting sperm with normal physiology
  • Reduces miscarriage risk linked to DNA-damaged sperm
  • Increases pregnancy success rates in couples with repeated IVF/ICSI failures
  • Provides better fertilization outcomes in cases of high sperm DNA fragmentation
  • Mimics natural sperm selection, improving treatment reliability
