ICSI
What does ICSI mean?
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is carried out as an additional part of an IVF treatment cycle in which a single sperm is injected into each egg to assist fertilization using very fine micro-manipulation equipment. In most cases, ICSI can be used to overcome severe male factor infertility.
It is our policy to use of ICSI rather than standard IVF
Frequently Asked Questions About ICSI Process
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is recommended for couples who have been diagnosed with male fertility problems such as low sperm count, poor sperm morphology or motility, anti-sperm antibodies, or who have had a previous vasectomy or unsuccessful vasectomy reversal.
We can also use this technique for couples who have had poor or no success with standard IVF.
There is no convincing evidence that the rate of birth defects in children born from ICSI is different from that in the general population. However, there is a slightly increased chance that a male child born from ICSI will also have a male fertility problem.
In our IVF treatment, ICSI is a standard procedure. Therefore, there is no extra charge for it.
ICSI is one of the most widely used assisted reproductive technologies, along with IVF. Since its introduction, it has led to the birth of many thousands of babies worldwide who might not otherwise have been conceived.
Success rates for ICSI are higher than standard IVF. Read more about IVF success rates
