ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) injects a single healthy sperm directly into a mature egg — the gold-standard treatment for male factor infertility including azoospermia, low count, and poor motility. At Mother Hospitals, Hyderabad, ICSI is included in the all-inclusive IVF package and performed by Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy (TGMC Reg: 50624). Call 97059 93366.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. It is the most effective treatment for male infertility and is performed at Mother Hospitals & IVF Center, Boduppal by experienced embryologists.

In conventional IVF, thousands of sperm surround an egg and one fertilises it naturally. In ICSI, a single carefully selected sperm is injected directly into the egg using a microscopic needle. This overcomes even severe male infertility.
Low sperm count (oligospermia), poor sperm motility (asthenospermia), abnormal sperm shape (teratospermia), no sperm in ejaculate (azoospermia — using TESA/PESA), previous failed conventional IVF fertilisation, and frozen sperm.
For men with azoospermia (no sperm in semen), we offer TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) and PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) to surgically retrieve sperm for use in ICSI.
In IVF, sperm and eggs are mixed in a dish and fertilisation occurs naturally. In ICSI, a single sperm is injected directly into each egg. ICSI is used when sperm quality is poor or fertilisation failed in previous IVF cycles.
ICSI is recommended in most IVF cycles due to its higher fertilisation rates. Dr. E. Prashanthi Reddy will advise whether standard IVF or ICSI is appropriate for your situation.
Yes. For azoospermia, we perform TESA or PESA to retrieve sperm directly from the testes or epididymis. These surgically retrieved sperm are then used in ICSI.
ICSI fertilisation rates are 60–80% per egg. Whether this results in a pregnancy depends on embryo quality, uterine health, and the woman's age and diagnosis.
Multiple large studies show ICSI babies have similar health outcomes to naturally conceived babies. There is a very slightly higher risk of passing on male infertility to male offspring, which your doctor will discuss with you.
