What is ICSI?
ICSI is an advanced form of IVF where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg in a controlled laboratory environment to achieve fertilization. It overcomes sperm-related fertility issues, ensures fertilization even with low sperm count, and improves chances in complex infertility cases. ICSI is especially helpful when natural fertilization is difficult or unsuccessful.

Frequently Asked Questions about ICSI
ICSI is an advanced fertility technique where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization.
ICSI fertilization rates are typically 70% to 85%, while pregnancy success depends on age, embryo quality, and overall health.
Yes, in IVF sperm fertilizes the egg naturally in a dish, while in ICSI a single sperm is directly injected into the egg.
ICSI is ideal for couples with male infertility, failed IVF cycles, or severe fertilization issues.
The ICSI process itself is performed in the lab. Egg retrieval is done under anesthesia, so it is not painful.
An ICSI cycle usually takes 4–6 weeks, including stimulation, retrieval, fertilization, and transfer.
No treatment can guarantee pregnancy, but ICSI significantly improves fertilization chances in complex cases.
ICSI is generally safe, but a slightly increased risk is discussed in rare cases. Proper screening minimizes risks.
Usually 1 or 2 embryos are transferred depending on age and medical condition.
ICSI is recommended when severe male infertility is present, previous IVF cycles failed, or fertilization is unlikely naturally.
