What is ICSI Treatment ?
ICSI Treatment (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an IVF procedure usually used in cases of male infertility. In this process, a single sperm is injected directly into the egg. In conventional IVF, the eggs and sperm are mixed in a container and fertilization then happens naturally. In this scenario, thousands of sperms attempt to fertilize a single egg.
If in the number of healthy sperms are limited or if there are other factors that prevent conventional IVF procedure, then ICSI may be used.

- The egg is held in a specialized pipette
- A single sperm is picked up using a hollow microneedle
- The microneedle is then inserted into the cytoplasm of the egg
- The sperm is injected into the cytoplasm and the microneedle is removed
