ICSI also known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, is a specialized form of IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) in which a single healthy sperm is directly injected into the cytoplasm of the egg. It is most commonly done when a couple is unable to conceive due to male infertility.
Just like in IVF, in ICSI treatment, the female partner is given fertility medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs for fertilization. Once matured, these eggs will be retrieved and kept to be used immediately or frozen for future use.
In the meantime, the sperm are taken from the semen sample collected from the male partner. And a single healthy sperm is collected after washing it.
This sperm is then Injected into the cytoplasm of the cell with the help of a thin needle under a microscope. And this fertilized egg (embryo) is placed in the uterus of the female partner after 3 to 5 days, where it will get attached to the uterus lining for further growth.
There are many factors, due to which a couple might opt for ICSI treatment. They are as follows-
ICSI is considered as one of the most successful ART methods for problems related to male infertility. The rate of success in ICSI is around 85%, couples with male infertility who opt for ICSI have a success rate of 70% to 75%. The chances of a positive outcome in ICSI is similar to the probability of achieving pregnancy via normal sperm and other conventional methods.
ICSI success rate is high as the doctor can select the best quality sperm and egg for fertilization. However, there are certain factors which determine the ICSI success rate in India, like- quality of eggs, age of the female partner, type of infertility problem, and the sperm quality.
Given below is the list of best ICSI centres in India–
