PICSI
A technique that selects mature sperm for injection based on physiological principles.
PICSI Treatment in South Extension, Delhi | Dr. Nalini Gupta Fertility Care
Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is a sperm selection method that mimics a natural biological process to identify the most developmentally competent sperm.
What Is PICSI?
Mature, healthy sperm naturally bind to hyaluronic acid, a substance found around the egg. PICSI uses this biological property to select sperm. Only sperm that successfully bind to a hyaluronic acid surface are considered for injection, indicating they are more likely to carry complete, undamaged DNA.
Why Is PICSI Used?
Sperm selected through PICSI have been shown to carry lower rates of DNA fragmentation and chromosomal abnormalities compared to those selected by appearance alone. This can improve embryo quality and reduce the risk of miscarriage, particularly in cases where DNA damage is suspected.
Who Is PICSI Recommended For?
PICSI is beneficial for couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage, poor embryo development in previous IVF cycles, elevated sperm DNA fragmentation scores, and unexplained IVF failure.
