ICSI+PGD in Iran

What is intracytoplasmic sperm injection?

ICSI+PGD in Iran : As the name suggests, intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a delicate procedure that involves the injection of a single sperm into the cytoplasm of the woman’s egg, bringing about fertilization. Several eggs are treated with sperm and allowed to develop in culture fluid in carefully controlled conditions. The embryos that develop after 2–3 days, or blastocysts that develop within 5–6 days are then transferred to the woman’s uterus as in a standard IVF cycle.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection can be very helpful in cases of male infertility due to severe sperm abnormality or when the male partner is disabled. It can also be useful for couples who are infertile because the man has had a vasectomy that cannot be reversed.

Who might need intracytoplasmic sperm injection?

Couples experiencing the following infertility issues may benefit from intracytoplasmic sperm injection:

• Low numbers of sperm produced or ejaculated: this can be due to retrograde ejaculation or a blockage in the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm out of the testes. A complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate can be overcome if there is sperm production inside the testes. Sperm retrieval methods are used to extract sperm surgically to allow intracytoplasmic sperm injection to take place.

• Sperm that is abnormal and cannot swim well. Obtaining plenty of sperm in the normal ejaculate is straightforward and intracytoplasmic sperm injection can overcome the problems with getting these immobile sperms to meet up with the woman’s eggs.
• A previous vasectomy cannot be reversed successfully.
• Problems with antibodies against sperm: these can be produced by the male partner in the fluid of the ejaculate, or by the female partner in cervical secretions.
• Testicular cancer: this can occur in younger men and treatment may mean that sperm production is affected. Sperm can be frozen before cancer treatment (which has a high success rate) and then the thawed sperm can be used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

How is sperm collected?

The most usual method is to use fresh ejaculate but this is not possible in all male partners contributing sperm for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Rarely, surgical removal of sperm from the testes is required; it is also possible to collect sperm from the urine if the man experiences retrograde ejaculation (the sperm travel backward into the bladder instead of forwards into the penis). Men who cannot ejaculate because of nerve injury may be able to do so with electro-ejaculation.ICSI+PGD in Iran

Potential problems with intracytoplasmic sperm injection

The vast majority of children that are born as a result of intracytoplasmic sperm injection are healthy but there is a risk that if the father produces abnormal sperm, this may be due to a genetic trait that is passed on to the child. It may be possible to test for known genetic diseases using pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) but if there is no obvious genetic abnormality, there is no test.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection also carries the same risks as standard IVF, including a higher risk of multiple pregnancies, an increased risk of ovary hyperstimulation in the female partner, and a higher risk of implantation in the fallopian tubes, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy.

The history of ICSI in Iran has been shaped by the interaction between the pioneers of ICSI and an interdisciplinary group of experts, together with the endorsement and strong support of the Shia jurists.

PGD

Who can have PGD?

Your doctor may discuss PGD with you if:

• you have ended previous pregnancies because of a serious genetic condition
• you already have a child with a serious genetic condition and want to avoid this happening again
• you have a family history of a serious genetic condition, or
• you have a family history of chromosome problems.

Which genetic conditions can be tested for during PGD?

PGD can be used to test for almost any genetic condition where a specific gene is known to cause that condition. At the moment nearly 400 conditions have been approved for testing.

What if I have a genetic condition that hasn’t been approved for testing?

If there’s a genetic condition you’d like to be able to test for that hasn’t already been approved, your clinic will need to apply to us to add it to the PGD list. There are strict criteria for deciding which conditions should be permitted so bear in mind it could be a lengthy process and you may not be successful.

How safe is PGD?

The PGD treatment itself is thought to be very safe – there is no evidence that babies born following PGD suffer from any more health or developmental problems than babies born using IVF alone. There are risks from having IVF though, some of which can be very serious.

Although an embryo can develop normally even when it has had a cell removed, there is a possibility that some embryos may be damaged by the process, which means they would need to be discarded. In addition, PGD is not 100% accurate so there’s a small chance the tests may not work or may give the wrong information.ICSI+PGD

What’s the chance of having a baby with PGD?

As with most fertility treatments, success depends on many factors, including the woman’s age and whether there are any existing fertility problems. We only have a small amount of data on births from PGD because it’s a fairly rare treat.

In 2016, there were 712 treatment cycles of PGD:

• 132 of these cycles used fresh embryos and the birth rate per embryo transferred was 30%.
• 580 of these cycles used frozen embryos and the birth rate per embryo transferred was 36%.

Why might PGD be unsuccessful?

Unfortunately, sometimes there are no embryos suitable for transfer to the womb. This could be because:

• not enough eggs are produced or fertilized in the first place
• removing the cells for analysis damages the embryos
• all the embryos are affected by the genetic disease
• heart arrhythmia,Heart rhythm problems
