Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection(ICSI)
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized form of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) that is used primarily for the treatment of severe cases of male-factor infertility. ICSI involves the injection of a single sperm directly into a mature egg.
What are the Common Reasons for Doing ICSI?
The male partner may produce a sample of low sperm count that causes failure in conventional IVF
The sperm may move in an unusual manner
The sperm can have trouble attaching itself to the egg and further penetrating it to reach the insides for fertilization
Usage of In-vitro matured eggs
Usage of frozen eggs
