Overview
Understanding ICSI Procedure
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced fertility technique used as part of IVF treatment. In this procedure, a single healthy sperm is carefully selected and directly injected into the egg using microscopic precision — ensuring fertilization even in challenging cases.
At Veda IVF, ICSI is performed by experienced embryologists in a highly controlled laboratory environment. This technique is especially beneficial when sperm quality or quantity is low, significantly improving the chances of successful fertilization and embryo development.
Symptoms — When ICSI May Be Recommended
- Very low sperm count (oligospermia)
- Poor sperm motility or movement
- Abnormal sperm morphology
- Previous IVF fertilization failure
- Blockage in sperm delivery (azoospermia)
- Use of surgically retrieved sperm
- Severe male factor infertility cases
Important
ICSI is usually recommended after proper fertility evaluation. It is not required for all couples and is used only when necessary for better outcomes.
