ICSI Treatment

What is Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?

ICSI is an advanced treatment for male infertility. It’s usually recommended when IVF doesn’t result in fertilization or in cases of certain sperm-related medical conditions such as Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, Cryptozoospermia, Globozoospermia, or Azoospermia. ICSI is one of the most effective ways to treat male infertility and create healthy embryos. It has shown consistently good results.

When Should You Consider ICSI?

ICSI is helpful in many male infertility situations, including:

Low sperm count: Not enough sperm in the semen.
Low sperm motility: Sperm move slowly or struggle to reach the egg.
Poor sperm morphology: Sperm are abnormally shaped, making it hard to fertilize the egg.
Low functionality: Sperm can’t reach or penetrate the egg properly.
Poor survival rate: Sperm don’t survive long enough inside the uterus.

Tests Required Before ICSI

Before starting ICSI treatment, several important tests are conducted to ensure the best chances of success:

Semen Analysis: Checks sperm count, shape, and movement.
Ovarian Reserve Test: Measures the number and quality of eggs available.

What are the different steps involved in ICSI treatment?

The process starts with giving the female partner injections to help her follicles grow. Mature eggs are then collected from these follicles. A single healthy sperm from the male partner is injected directly into each egg. If there’s no sperm in the semen, it can be retrieved directly from the testes. The fertilized egg (embryo) is then placed in the uterus.

ICSI gives couples a real chance at parenthood and helps them build the family they’ve been dreaming of.
