Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized fertility treatment that has transformed possibilities for couples facing male infertility challenges. At Nakshatra Clinic in Baner, Pune , our expert IVF specialists provide personalized care and advanced ICSI procedures to help you achieve successful conception, even in cases where traditional IVF may not be effective. ICSI involves the precise injection of a single sperm into the cytoplasm of a mature egg in a laboratory setting, ensuring fertilization even when sperm count, motility, or shape is compromised. This makes it one of the most effective treatments for severe male-factor infertility.
Advantages of ICSI Treatment
High Fertilization Success
ICSI directly injects sperm into the egg, overcoming low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal shape, significantly improving fertilization rates even in severe male infertility cases.
Solution for Failed IVF
Couples who experienced unsuccessful IVF cycles can benefit from ICSI, as it provides an alternative method to fertilize eggs, increasing the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.
Works with Frozen or Limited Eggs
ICSI is ideal when few eggs are available or when using frozen/in vitro matured eggs, ensuring each egg receives the best chance of fertilization and embryo development.
Treats Multiple Male Infertility Issues
ICSI addresses low sperm count, poor motility, and abnormal sperm morphology simultaneously, providing a comprehensive treatment solution for male-factor infertility.
Predictive DNA Assessment
When combined with sperm DNA fragmentation tests, ICSI can evaluate sperm quality, helping specialists predict outcomes of assisted reproduction and personalize fertility treatment plans.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a fertility technique where a single sperm is injected directly into a mature egg. This treatment is especially useful for male infertility caused by low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm morphology, ensuring fertilization in a controlled laboratory environment.
ICSI effectively addresses low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal shape, and blockages, making it one of the most comprehensive solutions for male infertility. It is also suitable for couples who have previously experienced failed IVF cycles.
ICSI increases fertilization success, addresses severe male infertility issues, enables fertilization of frozen or limited eggs, offers hope after failed IVF cycles, and allows predictive assessment with sperm DNA fragmentation testing to guide personalized fertility treatment.
Yes, ICSI is ideal for fertilizing frozen or in vitro matured eggs, ensuring maximum fertilization potential and increasing the chances of embryo development and successful pregnancy.
While traditional IVF combines eggs and sperm in a dish for natural fertilization, ICSI involves manually injecting a single sperm into the egg, bypassing fertilization barriers. This makes it more effective for severe male-factor infertility.
