At Ishwa IVF Centre, we consistently deliver advanced fertility treatments that combine scientific accuracy with compassionate patient care. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) stands at the forefront of our assisted reproductive services. Under the expert leadership of Dr. Urmila Sharma, Dr. Zeepee Godha, and Dr. Rahul Sharma, we apply globally recognized protocols to help couples overcome even the most complex infertility challenges.
What Is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an advanced micromanipulation technique in which our embryologists inject a single, high-quality sperm directly into a mature egg. Unlike conventional fertilization, ICSI eliminates the need for sperm to penetrate the egg naturally. As a result, this method significantly improves fertilization rates in cases involving severe male infertility.
Moreover, ICSI allows us to control fertilization with exceptional precision. Therefore, couples who previously experienced failed IVF cycles often benefit greatly from this technique.
Who Benefits Most From Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
We recommend intracytoplasmic sperm injection when specific fertility factors limit natural or conventional fertilization. In particular, ICSI benefits patients with:
- Low sperm count or poor sperm motility
- Abnormal sperm morphology
- Obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia
- Previous IVF fertilization failure
- Use of surgically retrieved sperm
- Advanced maternal age
- Unexplained infertility with low fertilization outcomes
Because each fertility journey differs, we evaluate every couple individually. Consequently, we design personalized treatment plans that maximize success while maintaining safety.
Step-by-Step Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Process
1. Detailed Fertility Testing
First, we conduct a comprehensive fertility assessment for both partners. We analyze hormonal levels, ovarian reserve, uterine health, and sperm quality. Additionally, we recommend genetic screening when clinically relevant. This step allows us to plan the ICSI cycle with clarity and precision.
2. Controlled Ovarian Stimulation
Next, we stimulate the ovaries using carefully selected medications. Throughout this phase, our specialists monitor follicular growth closely. As a result, we retrieve multiple mature eggs while minimizing risks.
3. Egg Retrieval and Sperm Preparation
We retrieve mature eggs using ultrasound-guided techniques. At the same time, our embryology team prepares the sperm sample using advanced selection methods. Therefore, only the healthiest sperm proceed to injection.
4. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Our embryologists perform intracytoplasmic sperm injection using high-magnification microscopes. They inject one sperm directly into each mature egg with absolute precision. Consequently, fertilization occurs under controlled laboratory conditions.
5. Human Embryonic Development
After fertilization, we culture embryos in advanced incubators that closely mimic the natural uterine environment. Meanwhile, we continuously monitor embryo development to identify optimal growth patterns.
6. Embryo Transfer
Finally, we transfer the healthiest embryo into the uterus. This procedure remains painless and minimally invasive. Additionally, we cryopreserve surplus high-quality embryos for future use.
Success Rates of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
The success of intracytoplasmic sperm injection depends on several factors, including maternal age, egg quality, sperm health, and uterine receptivity. However, our clinical expertise and laboratory precision consistently produce strong fertilization and pregnancy outcomes.
Furthermore, our team focuses on achieving healthy singleton pregnancies. Therefore, we follow strict embryo transfer guidelines to enhance safety and long-term maternal health.
Key Advantages of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
ICSI offers multiple clinical advantages that set it apart from conventional IVF:
- High fertilization rates even with limited sperm
- Effective treatment for severe male-factor infertility
- Reduced risk of fertilization failure
- Compatibility with frozen and surgically retrieved sperm
- Enhanced outcomes in repeat IVF cycles
Because of these benefits, ICSI remains one of the most reliable fertility treatments worldwide.
ICSI and Genetic Screening Options
In addition to fertilization, we integrate genetic testing with intracytoplasmic sperm injection when required. Preimplantation genetic testing helps identify chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer. Consequently, couples with genetic concerns or repeated pregnancy losses gain added confidence and reassurance.
