Advanced Fertilization for Every Family’s Dream
What Is ICSI?
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of an egg using a high-powered microscope and micro-needle.
This technique bypasses many natural fertilization barriers, making it ideal for couples with low sperm count, poor motility, or previous IVF fertilization failures.
Originally developed for male-factor infertility, ICSI is now one of the most commonly used procedures worldwide due to its high success and versatility.
ICSI is often combined with:
- PGT-A Genetic Testing for embryo health.
- Egg Donation or Sperm Donation.
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET).
- Mini IVF or Tandem IVF protocols.

- Sperm has been surgically retrieved (TESE, PESA).
- There are high levels of sperm DNA fragmentation.
- Fertilization must use frozen eggs or sperm.

ICSI and Male Infertility
ICSI is especially valuable for overcoming severe male infertility conditions such as:
- Azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate).
- Oligospermia (low count).
- Asthenospermia (poor motility).

Even with very few viable sperm, ICSI makes fertilization possible—restoring hope where traditional IVF might not succeed.
