How It Works
-
Sperm Selection: Our embryologists select the healthiest sperm using high-magnification microscopy.
-
Injection: A fine needle injects the sperm directly into the egg’s cytoplasm.
-
Monitoring: Fertilized eggs are cultured to the embryo stage, similar to standard IVF.
-
Physiological ICSI (PICSI): An advanced option using hyaluronic acid to select mature sperm with better DNA integrity.
Who It’s For
-
Men with low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology.
-
Couples using surgically retrieved sperm (e.g., via TESE/MESA).
-
Patients with unexplained infertility or prior fertilization failures.
Benefits
Overcomes severe male infertility barriers.
High fertilization rates, even with low-quality sperm.
PICSI may improve embryo quality and implantation rates.
Risks
Slight increase in chromosomal abnormalities compared to natural conception (similar to standard IVF).
Not all eggs fertilize successfully, depending on egg and sperm quality.
Our Expertise
Our embryologists are trained in the latest ICSI techniques, ensuring precision and high fertilization success. We also offer genetic counseling for couples using ICSI.
