Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a highly advanced assisted reproductive technology used to treat severe male infertility problems. It is a specialized form of IVF in which a single healthy sperm is carefully injected directly into a mature egg under a high-precision microscope. This technique greatly improves the chances of fertilization, especially when sperm count, movement, or quality is low.

ICSI is commonly recommended for couples facing male factor infertility, low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm shape, or when previous IVF attempts have not resulted in successful fertilization. It is also helpful in cases where sperm must be surgically retrieved.

The ICSI procedure begins with ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs. Once the eggs are retrieved, an embryologist selects a healthy sperm and injects it directly into the egg using advanced micromanipulation equipment. The fertilized embryos are then monitored in a specialized laboratory before being transferred into the uterus.

With modern fertility technology and experienced specialists, ICSI significantly increases the chances of successful fertilization and pregnancy for couples struggling with infertility. It has become one of the most effective fertility treatments used worldwide.
