What is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI )?

Infertility is a complex condition that can lead to sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression and social isolation. When a couple suffers from infertility, they cannot conceive or maintain a pregnancy any longer, even if they have regular sexual relations for twelve consecutive months.

Men and women can be held equally responsible for the inability to conceive. Infertility can be treated by adapting different infertility treatments. If you have failed treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI), you still have the option of IVF with ICSI in Spain

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an extended in vitro fertilisation treatment and a form of assisted reproductive technology. It is used as an additional treatment to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to treat infertility problems and disorders.

IVF ICSI infertility treatment is used when other methods of infertility treatment fail. If conventional IVF cycles fail, ICSI is used for treatment to overcome male factor infertility problems. In the ICSI procedure, a sperm is injected directly into the egg for IVF fertilisation. ICSI treatment is used in cases where the male partner has problems:

• Low sperm count
• Poor sperm quality
• Ejaculation problems
• Presence of high levels of antibodies in the sperm
• Failure of conventional IVF cycles
• An unusually high percentage of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa

IVF ICSI in Spain

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) versus intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

For the patient, in vitro fertilisation and intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatments are the same as for infertility. In medical parlance, conventional IVF is a treatment in which the sperm fertilises an egg naturally, while ICSI is an additional treatment to IVF, aimed at treating the male factor in infertility. ICSI treatment takes place in laboratories under the supervision of infertility specialists.

• A sperm sample is extracted from the male epididymis and eggs are extracted from the uterus.
• The sperm is then injected into the egg using a tiny glass needle.
• The fertilised egg is then stored for observation, to allow it to grow and develop.
• The embryo is successfully implanted in the uterus to improve the chances of conception.

Cost of fertility drugs, blood tests and ultrasound checks

Before going to an IVF centre in Spain, patients should ask themselves about the cost of IVF ICSI in Spain. Most IVF centres in Spain include fertility drugs, medical consultations, laboratory tests, ultrasound monitoring and blood tests in the IVF ICSI cost packages. At the same time, some other IVF centres in Spain have their own rules regarding the costs of IVF ICSI in Spain, which may vary from person to person.

Factors affecting the cost of IVF ICSI in Spain

The cost of IVF ICSI treatment in Spain depends on the use of the ICSI process, the quality of the embryos, the presence of fibroid tumours, ovarian disorders and the length of time the couple has been infertile. It also includes the use of donor eggs or sperm, the expertise and qualifications of the embryologist and the type of case the infertile couple has.

IVF ICSI success rate in Spain

The success rate for IVF ICSI in Spain can average between 30%. If the success rate of the treatment increases, this will lead to an increase in the cost of IVF ICSI in Spain. Other factors that may influence the cost of IVF ICSI in Spain include the expertise of the gynaecologist, the medical history of pregnancy and miscarriage and, most importantly, patient feedback.

Advantages of IVF and ICSI treatment

Each infertility treatment has unique benefits. The same is true of IVF treatment with ICSI. IVF treatment with ICSI is most beneficial for the infertile couple who have experienced failures in conventional IVF cycles, low sperm count leading to failure to conceive, poor sperm motility, attempts to become pregnant after vasectomy, physical blockage and other such infertility problems.

Things not to do

• Smoking: the infertility specialist advises the couple to stop smoking before starting the IVF ICSI treatment cycle. Smoking has a dramatic effect on the woman’s egg and is toxic.
• Drinking: alcohol should be avoided at the time of conception, during pregnancy and up until the birth.

Risks of IVF ICSI

1. Multiple pregnancies: Infertile couples who use ICSI as a complementary treatment to IVF run an increased risk of having multiple pregnancies. According to specialists at IVF centres in Spain, there is a 30-35% chance of having twins and a 5-10% chance of triplets and more. Multiple pregnancies can lead to complications such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, caesarean sections and premature labour.
2. Risk of congenital malformations: Although the risk of congenital malformations in a baby conceived by ICSI is lower, couples should be informed of this risk before visiting IVF centres in Spain. The risks associated with congenital malformations are hypospadias and sex chromosome anomalies.
3. Damage to the ovum: there is a possibility of damage to the ovum at the time of sperm injection, which may result in abnormal growth and development of any offspring.
