ICSI

What Is ICSI Treatment About
ICSI, or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, is an advanced fertility treatment used in IVF procedures. It involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg to assist fertilization. This technique is especially helpful for couples facing male infertility issues, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape. ICSI improves the chances of successful fertilization where conventional methods might not be effective.

Who Needs ICSI and Why
ICSI is recommended when previous IVF cycles have failed or when there is severe male factor infertility. It may also be used when sperm is surgically retrieved or in cases of unexplained infertility. Since only one healthy sperm is needed for each egg, this method bypasses many sperm-related barriers and increases the likelihood of conception. The treatment is safe and has been used worldwide with promising outcomes.

How ICSI Procedure Is Done
The ICSI procedure is performed in a specialized laboratory under a microscope. After egg retrieval, each mature egg is held with a tiny glass tool while a single sperm is injected using a fine needle. The fertilized egg (embryo) is then cultured and monitored before being transferred to the uterus. The entire process is done with precision to ensure the best possible chances of pregnancy.
