ICSI / PICSI Treatment

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an advanced IVF fertilization technique in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg in the laboratory.

ICSI may be recommended when sperm count, motility or morphology is low, when sperm has been surgically retrieved, when previous IVF fertilization has been poor, or when only a limited number of eggs are available.

PICSI is a related sperm-selection method that may help embryologists select mature sperm for injection in selected cases. The clinical team will advise whether ICSI or PICSI is appropriate after reviewing semen analysis, previous treatment records and embryo development history.

ICSI and PICSI do not guarantee pregnancy, but they can improve the chance of fertilization in situations where conventional IVF fertilization may be less suitable.
