When Should a Couple Consider ICSI Treatment?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is often recommended when male infertility or fertilization issues are present. A couple should consider ICSI in the following situations:
- Very low sperm count or poor sperm motility
- Abnormally shaped sperm (morphology issues)
- Previous IVF cycle with poor or no fertilization
- Obstructive azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate due to blockages)
- Use of frozen sperm or testicular sperm extraction (TESE)
- Antisperm antibodies affecting sperm function
- Egg freezing or low egg quantity, where every egg counts
- Unexplained infertility, especially after failed IUI or IVF cycles
- Couples opting for Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
ICSI offers a high-precision solution where conventional IVF might fail, especially when sperm quality is compromised. Consult a fertility expert to know if ICSI is right for your journey.
