Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, commonly known as ICSI is an advanced form of IVF treatment where a single best quality sperm is picked and injected directly into the egg in order to fertilize the egg. This process is not less than a boon for those couples who are unable to achieve parenthood because of male factor infertility.

What exactly is the ICSI Process?

ICSI is carried out with the traditional IVF treatment. During this process the sperms are retrieved by the intended father and the eggs from the intended mother. In case the male partner fails to produce sperms naturally, it can be done by the sperm retrieval techniques like PESA, TESA or TESE depending upon the individual’s needs.

After collecting the sperm samples a single best quality sperm is elected and directly injected into the egg. Rest of the process remains same as the traditional IVF. The egg is fertilized in a laboratory to create an embryo. After successful fertilization the embryo is transferred into the uterus of the intended mother.
