  • • Who do not ejaculate any sperm (cryptozoospermia).
  • • Who for various reasons have problems obtaining an erection and ejaculation?
  • • Men with spinal cord injuries, Hodgkin’s, diabetes and other medical problem.

Steps involved in ICSI

  • • Women is stimulated for follicle production and egg recovery as in IVF.
  • • Single sperm is selected from the semen or directly from the testis/epididymis by TESA/PESA.
  • • This single sperm is injected into the cytoplasm of the egg and are left for fertilization in an incubator as in IVF
  • • Transfer of embryo to the uterus occurs in the same routine manner as that for IVF. ICSI can be used for all types of sperm problems-even those with extreme conditions.
