Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a technique where the egg is fertilised outside the body, by injecting the sperm directly into it, with the use of a needle. The embryos are then introduced back into the woman’s uterus in the same way as in “simple” IVF.
Treatment, from the woman’s point of view is no different to the one described above in “simple” IVF. The only difference is regarding the embryologist’s work!
ICSI is typically suitable in cases of:
- Male factor subfertility (abnormal semen parameters).
- Advanced Maternal Age
- Couples with poor fertilisation rates during previous IVF attempts.
