IMSI

     IMSI is a method,for  examining  sperm under a high-magnification microscope about  15 times more powerful than Standard labaratory equipment, to select a good genetic quality   sperm, without  causing any damages to its morphology. This technique allows us to examine sperms morrphologic characteristic.

      Using Standard techniques, sperm is  magnified  maximum 400 times.at this level general characteristics  of sperm cells can still  be seen.( head,tail,neck)But not the some organels  and vacuals on the sperm.

       Compared to other avarage İVF tecniques,IMSI is significantly more effective than others,with  the advantage of selecting good quality sperms by magnifying  the image of the sperm 1380-8000 times without harming their morphology.

      High powered microscopes are used for this technique, This tecnique,allowing  doctors to pick the best and healthies sperm, which are more likely to produce a healty embryo with a good chance for fertility.Research has proven that the successs rate of IMSI is 25%-40% higher than ICS.This is the first use of this technique in Turkey.

      Some genetical and external factors can  damage DNA.especially, when ordinary tecnique ICSI is applied, risk of chosing unhealty DNA,S is quite high.. The IMSI technique enables  us to pick the healties sperms,containing the better  DNA.

    With routine ICSI technique,morphologically  normal sperms are chosen. This techniquedoes not allow analyisis of the DNA.

   Using damaged,or faulty DNA, reduces the chance  of fertizilation.Low quality embryos mean higher risk of abortation,and also genetic illness,implantion and babies with malformation(abnormalities)

Faulty DNA means it is impossible to achieve positive results with either IVF or spontaneous pregnancy.

       Abnormal cell metabolism and oksidative stress  also may cause bad effects  in DNA..Smoking,poor air  quality,an irregular sex life are also negative factors on the quality of male DNA

      This unhealthy DNA can be repaired,and healthy babies may be resulted.But in such cases, we identified that abnormalities can appear in babies at a later stage ,for example abnormal growth,early ageing and lung and skin tumours.Therefore strong DNA structure is the key factor in conceiving genetically healthy babies.Strong DNA structure is transferred to future generations.

        When men  over 35  are more likely to conceive babies which are later aborted.

        Compering spontaneously conceived babies with babies born with ICSI ;few diffirences are found,except for some congentinal abnormalities with ICSI babies.

        In spite of not having enough evidence of dramatic differences between babies with  faulty DNA ,we can verify that  using the IMSI technique allows us  opportunity to reduce the risk of later complications.
