Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced micromanipulation technique developed to achieve fertilization. Unlike conventional IVF, where many sperm are placed near an egg, ICSI involves a much more precise approach.
ICSI is primarily recommended for couples facing specific challenges where conventional IVF may not succeed. It is commonly done for:
Couples with severe male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility).
Cases of previous fertilization failure using conventional IVF.
Situations where very few sperm are available.
The procedure is delicate and requires high precision. It is carried out in the embryology lab by experienced embryologists using highly specialized equipment (micromanipulators).
The Outcome: The ICSI technique has revolutionized fertility treatment, helping many couples conceive using their own eggs and sperm when it was previously thought impossible.
