ICSI Treatment
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced fertility procedure where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This technique is especially helpful for couples facing male infertility or previous IVF challenges, significantly improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.
#UNDERSTANDING ICSI
What is ICSI?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced form of IVF in which a single sperm is carefully injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization. This technique is especially beneficial in cases where sperm count is low, motility is poor, or sperm shape is abnormal. By bypassing natural barriers to fertilization, ICSI improves the likelihood of successful embryo development and offers hope for couples struggling with male infertility.
#ICSI SAFETY INSIGHTS
Is ICSI Safe?
ICSI is widely regarded as a safe and effective fertility treatment. Like any assisted reproductive procedure, it carries some potential risks, including the possibility of multiple pregnancies or ovarian hyperstimulation. However, when performed by experienced specialists, the overall safety profile of ICSI is comparable to conventional IVF, making it a reliable option for couples seeking to overcome infertility challenges.
#THE PROCEDURE
How ICSI Works
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a precise fertility procedure in which a single sperm is directly injected into a mature egg to achieve fertilization. Once fertilized, the embryo is carefully cultured in the laboratory before being transferred to the uterus, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy, especially in cases of male infertility or previous IVF challenges.
Egg Retrieval
Hormone stimulation and egg collection.
Sperm Preparation
Healthy sperm is selected.
ICSI Procedure
Embryologist injects sperm into egg.
Embryo Culture
Fertilized egg develops in the lab.
Embryo Transfer
Embryo placed in the uterus.
#WHEN TO CONSIDER ICSI
When is ICSI Recommended?
ICSI is often recommended when male infertility prevents natural fertilization. At AAS Fertility & IVF Center, this treatment is suggested in cases of poor sperm quality, blockages in the reproductive tract, or when earlier IVF cycles have not led to fertilization.
- Poor sperm quality (shape or motility)
- Blockages in the male reproductive tract
- Previous IVF cycles with failed fertilization
