Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

🧫 ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced form of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) designed to help couples facing male infertility or fertilization failure. In this technique, a single healthy sperm is directly injected into the egg to ensure fertilization. At Phular IVF Hospital, Muzaffarpur, our skilled embryologists perform ICSI using high-end micromanipulation technology to achieve excellent success rates.

🔬 What is ICSI?

ICSI is a specialized procedure performed during IVF where a single sperm is selected and injected directly into the egg using a fine micro-needle under a microscope. This bypasses natural barriers that may prevent sperm from penetrating the egg and significantly increases fertilization chances — especially in cases of male infertility.

🧬 When is ICSI Recommended?

  • Low sperm count (Oligospermia)
  • Poor sperm motility or morphology
  • Previous IVF cycles with poor or no fertilization
  • Use of frozen or surgically retrieved sperm (TESA, PESA, Micro-TESE)
  • Unexplained infertility
  • High sperm DNA fragmentation (abnormal DFI)
  • Antisperm antibodies or male ejaculatory disorders
ICSI Treatment

⚙️ Step-by-Step ICSI Procedure

  1. Ovarian Stimulation: Hormonal injections stimulate multiple egg growth.
  2. Egg Retrieval: Mature eggs are collected under ultrasound guidance.
  3. Sperm Collection: Semen is collected or surgically retrieved.
  4. Sperm Selection: Embryologists select a single, healthy sperm.
  5. Microinjection: The sperm is injected directly into the egg using a micro-pipette.
  6. Fertilization & Embryo Culture: Fertilized eggs are cultured for 3–5 days.
  7. Embryo Transfer: The best-quality embryo is transferred to the uterus.

🌟 Advantages of ICSI

  • Overcomes severe male infertility problems
  • Higher fertilization rates than conventional IVF
  • Allows conception with very few viable sperm
  • Effective in azoospermia (no sperm in semen)
  • Improves results in previous failed IVF cycles

🧔 ICSI with Surgical Sperm Retrieval

For men with zero sperm count (Azoospermia), sperm can still be retrieved directly from the testes using advanced surgical techniques such as:

  • PESA: Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration
  • TESA: Testicular Sperm Aspiration
  • Micro-TESE: Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction

The retrieved sperm is then used for ICSI to achieve successful fertilization.

📊 Success Rate of ICSI

The success rate of ICSI depends on the woman’s age, egg quality, sperm health, and overall fertility condition. At Phular IVF Hospital, our ICSI success rates range between 60–80% per cycle in suitable cases.
