ICSI – A Ray of Hope for Male Infertility
What is ICSI?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized form of IVF where a single healthy sperm is directly injected into an egg using a high-powered microscope. This advanced technique helps overcome severe male infertility issues and improves the chances of fertilization significantly.
ICSI is commonly recommended when sperm cannot fertilize the egg naturally due to low count, poor motility, or abnormal shape.
At Shrushti IVF Mehsana, we offer the most advanced fertility technique, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood, especially in cases of male infertility.
✔️ Microscopic Precision
✔️ Higher Fertilization Rates
✔️ Performed by Expert Embryologists
When is ICSI Recommended?
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a highly advanced technique in assisted reproductive technology, used in cases where traditional IVF may not offer a good chance of fertilization. At Shrushti IVF, we recommend ICSI when specific male infertility issues or previous IVF failures reduce the chances of natural fertilization.
At Shrushti IVF, our fertility specialists assess your unique situation and recommend ICSI only when it provides a clear advantage. With our advanced lab technology and experienced embryology team, we offer the precision and care you need to maximize your chances of success.
Below are the most common scenarios where ICSI is considered the ideal choice:
Very low sperm count (oligospermia)
When the number of available sperm is too low for standard IVF.
Poor sperm motility (asthenozoospermia)
When sperm are not active enough to reach and fertilize the egg naturally.
Abnormally shaped sperm (teratozoospermia)
Misshapen sperm may not be able to penetrate the egg without assistance.
Failed fertilization in previous IVF cycles
ICSI offers a more controlled fertilization process to improve success rates.
locked or absent vas deferens
When sperm cannot be ejaculated naturally due to anatomical issues.
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE or PESA)
ICSI is essential when sperm are retrieved surgically from the testes or epididymis.
Use of frozen or donor sperm
Especially when sperm quality is reduced due to the freezing process.
Unexplained infertility
ICSI may be used when no clear cause of infertility is found but standard IVF fails to achieve fertilization.

FAQ's about IVF
Explore answers to the most common questions about ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) at Shrushti IVF. Learn when ICSI is recommended, how it differs from IVF, its success rates, safety, and more. Clear, expert-backed guidance to help you make informed fertility decisions.
The number of embryos depends on the number of mature eggs retrieved and successfully fertilized using ICSI. We discuss the embryo development status with you at each stage and help you decide how many embryos to transfer.
For the male partner, sperm collection is usually done through ejaculation or minor surgical retrieval. For the female partner, the procedure is similar to IVF, including egg retrieval under mild anesthesia, so there is no pain during ICSI itself.
ICSI stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. It is a specialized form of IVF where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg. ICSI is commonly recommended when sperm count, motility, or shape is significantly compromised, or when previous IVF cycles have failed to result in fertilization.
While both IVF and ICSI involve fertilizing an egg in a laboratory, ICSI differs in how fertilization occurs. In standard IVF, eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish to allow natural fertilization. In ICSI, the embryologist selects a single sperm and injects it directly into the egg to assist fertilization.
If no sperm is found in the semen—a condition called azoospermia—there are still options available. At Shrushti IVF, we offer advanced sperm retrieval procedures like TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) or PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration). These techniques can help obtain viable sperm directly from the testicular or epididymal tissue for use in ICSI.
ICSI is a safe and well-established procedure. Risks are similar to IVF and include: Ovarian hyperstimulation in women taking fertility medications Multiple pregnancy if multiple embryos are transferred Rare risk of infection or bleeding after egg retrieval Our team ensures you are monitored closely to minimize these risks.
