Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
What is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an assisted reproductive technique that involves the injection of a single sperm directly into the egg. This precise method significantly enhances the chances of fertilization, particularly in cases where male infertility factors, such as low sperm count or poor sperm motility, are present. Our skilled reproductive specialists, together with our state-of-the-art laboratory, offer this advanced technique as part of our comprehensive fertility treatment options.
Who Needs ICSI
A specialised treatment known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection ICSI is recommended for couples who experience male factor infertility, which may include the following conditions.
Our ICSI Process
Our ICSI process is designed to be easy and stress-free while providing the best possible results. Our team of experienced fertility specialists will guide you through each step of the treatment, providing personalized care along the way.
Initial Consultation
Your journey with ICSI begins with a thorough consultation with our fertility specialists. We will review your medical history, conduct necessary diagnostic tests, and discuss the most suitable treatment plan based on your specific needs.
Ovarian Stimulation
If you are undergoing ICSI as part of an IVF treatment, you will undergo ovarian stimulation to promote the growth and development of multiple eggs. This process is similar to the initial steps of traditional IVF.
Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs have matured, a minimally invasive procedure called egg retrieval is performed. Our skilled reproductive specialists use ultrasound guidance to collect the eggs, ensuring minimal discomfort.
Sperm Collection
On the day of egg retrieval, we collect a semen sample from your partner or a sperm donor. If the sample is provided by your partner, it will undergo specialized laboratory processing to isolate healthy and viable sperm.
Sperm Injection
In our state-of-the-art laboratory, our embryologists carefully select a single, healthy sperm and inject it directly into the center of the egg. This precise technique maximizes the chances of successful fertilization.
Embryo Development and Monitoring
After the injection, the fertilized eggs develop into embryos under carefully controlled laboratory conditions. Our experienced embryologists monitor their progress and assess their quality and viability.
Embryo Transfer
Based on the recommendations of our specialists, one or more of the highest-quality embryos will be transferred to the uterus. This procedure is usually painless and does not require anesthesia.
Follow-Up and Support
Following the embryo transfer, we provide ongoing support, monitoring your progress through regular check-ups and conducting necessary pregnancy tests. Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and emotional support throughout your journey.
