Quick Answer
ICSI injects a single sperm directly into the egg — achieving 70–80% fertilisation even with very low sperm count, poor motility, or zero sperm (using TESA). Mother Hospitals performs ICSI as the standard protocol in most IVF cycles. Located in Aakruthi Township, Boduppal. Call 97059 93366.
A single healthy sperm is selected under high magnification and injected directly into the egg using a fine needle. Bypasses all natural fertilisation barriers — ideal when sperm cannot reach or penetrate the egg naturally.
Low sperm count (< 5 million). Poor motility (< 20% progressive). High morphology defects. Previous IVF with low fertilisation. TESA sperm (retrieved from testis). Anti-sperm antibodies. Unexplained fertilisation failure.
ICSI achieves 70–80% fertilisation per mature egg — significantly higher than conventional IVF insemination (60–70%). More fertilised eggs = more embryos = more chances. Nearly all IVF cycles at Mother Hospitals include ICSI.
No sperm in semen (azoospermia)? TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) retrieves sperm directly from the testis under local anaesthesia. Retrieved sperm used for ICSI same day. 30–50% of non-obstructive azoospermia cases yield usable sperm.
PICSI selects sperm based on hyaluronic acid binding — a marker of genetic maturity. Better sperm quality → better embryos → less miscarriage. Recommended when sperm DNA fragmentation is high.

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a type of IVF. Under a microscope, the embryologist injects one healthy sperm directly into each mature egg, so the sperm does not have to get through the egg's outer layer on its own.
When the sperm count, motility or shape is low; when sperm is collected surgically (TESA, PESA or micro-TESE); after an earlier IVF cycle with poor or no fertilisation; with frozen eggs; and sometimes when only a few eggs are expected, as with low AMH.
Injections to grow the eggs (about 10–12 days, with scans) → egg collection under short anaesthesia → the semen sample is washed and the best sperm are chosen → each mature egg is injected → embryos grow in the lab for 3–5 days → one embryo is transferred and good extra embryos can be frozen.
In regular IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together and fertilisation happens on its own. ICSI is chosen when the semen report or a previous cycle suggests that may not work well. Your doctor and embryologist decide this together from your reports.
ICSI has been used worldwide for over 30 years and most babies born after ICSI are healthy. Some small extra risks are linked mainly to the underlying male fertility problem, so genetic counselling may be advised when sperm counts are very low.
