What is Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?
The ICSI procedure is a form of IVF where one sperm is directly inserted into the cytoplasm of an egg using micromanipulation. It bypasses multiple sperm-related challenges, making it highly effective for:
- Low sperm count or poor motility
- Abnormal sperm shape (morphology)
- Obstruction or ejaculatory dysfunction
- Previous IVF failures
This sperm injection technique allows fertilization even when very few or surgically retrieved sperms are available.
Why Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?
- When a man's sperm fails to fertilize an egg even after IVF, a unique method called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is employed.
- This technique enhances the couple's likelihood of conceiving.
- Infertility in men, due to a low sperm count, poor sperm movement, absence of sperm, erectile dysfunction, or infertility with an unknown cause, can be addressed with this method.
- Doctors often resort to ICSI when male infertility issues hinder a couple's chances of having a baby.

Difference between ICSI and IVF
In conventional IVF(in vitro fertilization), the eggs and sperm are mixed together in a Petri dish and incubated for a number of days. It is expected that the sperm will fertilise the eggs to produce embryos. However, this is assuming that the sperm are normal and active.
In ICSI, the egg is fertilised through the direct injection of a single sperm with the use of a fine needle. This makes ICSI the best procedure for male infertility treatments.

Who Should Consider ICSI Treatment?
- Men with extremely poor sperm quality or sperm retrieval techniques like TESA/TESE
- Couples with previous failed IVF cycles
- Men with genetic sperm abnormalities
- Couples with unexplained infertility
What happens after ICSI?
- After ICSI, fertilized eggs are monitored in the lab and a blastocyst is formed. Embryo transfer is scheduled on the fifth or sixth day or postponed.
- Ultrasound is used to insert a catheter and place the embryo into the uterus for implantation. Pregnancy requires waiting at least two weeks before attempting a test.

FAQs
When is ICSI Treatment recommended?
ICSI is likely to be recommended in the following circumstances;
- When the man has a very low sperm count.
- A high percentage of abnormally shaped or slow sperm
- Previous vasectomy.
- A need to use frozen sperm that is not of the best quality.
- Problems with getting an erection and ejaculating.
- A complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate due to obstruction or defective sperm production
- cancer patients with semen samples frozen before treatment.
- Severely decreased sperm motility, including totally immotile sperm.
How does ICSI Treatment work?
Fertilization occurs when one of the sperm enters the egg’s cytoplasm. In the ICSI process, a tiny needle, called a micropipette, is used to inject a single sperm into the center of the egg. With either traditional IVF or ICSI, once fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg (now called an embryo) grows in a laboratory for 1 to 5 days before it is transferred to the woman’s uterus (womb).
How long does the ICSI Treatment process take?
Once retrieved the semen sample is washed and a single sperm is isolated. This is then injected into an egg with a very fine hollow needle. Since the sperm is injected directly, it bypasses the need to swim through the cervical fluid. It can take sperm up to 24 hours to fertilize an egg and create an embryo.
How many sperms are needed for ICSI Treatment?
Very few sperms are sufficient as we use one sperm for one egg.
What is the disadvantage of ICSI Treatment?
It is an expensive procedure requiring the use of specialised equipment.
How many hours after ICSI Treatment does fertilization occur?
Approximately 17-18 hours. The egg is placed back into the incubator. Fertilization occurs in 4-6 hours in humans but there are no visible signs until approximately 17-18 hours later. The first sign that fertilization has occurred visibly is the development of two round bodies in the center of the egg.
