Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) – A Breakthrough in Fertility Treatment

This technique is a specialized form of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in which a single, high-quality sperm is directly injected into the egg to facilitate fertilization. ICSI is particularly beneficial for couples dealing with low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, or previous IVF failures. With exceptional success rates, ICSI has revolutionized assisted reproduction, offering new hope to couples struggling with male factor infertility.

The ICSI Procedure – Step by Step

ICSI follows the standard IVF process but includes an additional step of sperm injection. First, the female partner undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs, which are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure. Meanwhile, the sperm sample is carefully processed in the laboratory to select the most viable sperm. Using a high-powered microscope and micromanipulation techniques, an embryologist injects a single healthy sperm directly into the egg’s cytoplasm. After fertilization, the embryos are monitored for growth, and the best-quality embryo is selected for uterine transfer.

Success Rates and Expectations from ICSI

ICSI has higher fertilization rates compared to conventional IVF, with successful egg fertilization in 70-85% of cases. However, the ultimate success of pregnancy depends on embryo quality, the woman’s age, and overall reproductive health. Many couples who previously faced multiple IVF failures find success with ICSI. The technique maximizes fertilization potential, ensuring that even the weakest sperm can contribute to embryo formation.
