ICSI is a highly advanced and effective fertility treatment, particularly helpful for couples facing male infertility. The procedure involves injecting a single healthy sperm directly into a mature egg to support fertilisation and improve the chances of pregnancy. At 9M Fertility, our expert team performs ICSI using advanced laboratory technology and personalised treatment plans. If you are seeking a dependable solution for male factor infertility, ICSI at 9M Fertility offers high success rates with compassionate, individualised care.
Who Can Benefit from ICSI Treatment?
ICSI is a helpful option for couples facing specific fertility challenges, especially related to male infertility. It may be recommended in the following situations:
- Low sperm count: Since fertilisation requires just one healthy sperm, ICSI is effective even when sperm numbers are very low.
- Abnormal sperm shape (morphology): When sperm have irregular shapes, embryologists can carefully select the best-quality sperm for injection into the egg.
- Poor sperm movement (motility issues): If sperm are unable to swim properly to reach the egg, ICSI overcomes this by directly injecting the sperm into the egg.
- Poor sperm quality: ICSI helps address issues related to sperm quality, improving the chances of fertilisation and pregnancy.
- Previous vasectomy: Men who have had a vasectomy can still father a child through ICSI using surgically retrieved sperm.
- Earlier unsuccessful IVF cycles: For couples who did not achieve fertilisation with conventional IVF, ICSI can improve success by enhancing the fertilisation process.
