Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is a specialized form of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) designed to help couples overcome severe male infertility issues. This advanced treatment involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. ICSI has revolutionized fertility treatments, offering hope to couples struggling with male infertility factors.

What is ICSI?

ICSI is a laboratory procedure where a single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg. This technique is particularly useful in cases where the male partner has a low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology. Unlike traditional IVF, where eggs and sperm are mixed together in a petri dish, ICSI ensures that even a single healthy sperm can achieve fertilization, increasing the chances of pregnancy..

The ICSI Procedure

  1. Ovarian Stimulation: Similar to traditional IVF, the female partner undergoes hormonal treatment to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple eggs.
  2. Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the ovaries using a minor surgical procedure.
  3. Sperm Collection and Preparation: The male partner provides a semen sample, which is then processed to isolate the healthiest sperm.
  4. Sperm Injection: Under a microscope, a single sperm is injected directly into the center of an egg using a fine needle.
  5. Embryo Culture: The fertilized eggs are monitored and cultured in the lab for a few days until they develop into embryos.
  6. Embryo Transfer: A healthy embryo is selected and transferred into the female partner’s uterus to establish a pregnancy.
