Fertility Treatment: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Procedure

Fertility Treatment: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Procedure
Before a sperm can fertilize an egg, the head of the sperm must attach to the outside of the egg. Once attached, the sperm pushes through the outer layer to the inside of the egg (cytoplasm), where fertilization takes place.
Sometimes the sperm cannot penetrate the outer layer, for a variety of reasons. The egg’s outer layer may be thick or hard to penetrate or the sperm may be unable to swim. In these cases, a procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) can be done along with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help fertilize the egg. During ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm the egg.

Wow amazing video

Visually, I can see that penetration of the needle breaks through the zona pellucida, but it seems like insertion alone isn't enough to get through the inner membrane. I noticed that there's a bit of suction and some cytoplasmic contents are withdrawn into the needle prior to injecting. Is this suction what causes the oocyte's membrane to break or does it serve some other purpose?

I want to know the answer as well.

We also can absolutely see that the sperm is dead.

[@vsatyavati174]

Pls say can the sperm directly injected to the Ovary in the female uterus??

[@anushreeupadhyaya2192]

Pls guide me how to immobilize sperm properly and which lence is good for sperm immobilization and to do icsi

[@dodadoda4445]
