ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

In cases where poor sperm quality is the main problem, fertilization of the eggs cannot be achieved by the classic IVF procedure.

In such situations, we perform ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Sperm Injection), where one single spermatozoon is injected into the egg by a special technique, with the help of a very fine needle. ICSI is also performed in cases where prior classic IVF treatments fail to fertilize the eggs, despite the absence of a clear male factor, or in other situations (like for example the usage of frozen eggs) – but you don’t need to worry: our medical and lab teams are there to evaluate your case and decide what’s the best option for every patient.

The ICSI technique has been performed for more than 30 years, allowing for the birth millions of children worldwide. Careful examination of these children’s health has not shown any increased incidence of chromosome abnormalities or malformations.
The preparation for an ICSI treatment is identical to the classical IVF one, except for the fertilization procedure that happens in the laboratory.
