This is a specialized and effective fertility treatment for severe male infertility. This method involves injecting a single healthy sperm directly into an egg to aid fertilization. At Vasundhara IVF in Lucknow, Dr. Noopur Bajpai has helped many couples achieve their dream of parenthood through ICSI, using cutting-edge technology alongside compassionate, personalized care.

The ICSI process starts similarly to IVF. The woman's ovaries are gently stimulated with medications to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are collected through a simple, minimally invasive procedure. At the same time, the male partner provides a semen sample. If the sperm count or quality is very low, sperm may be retrieved surgically.

The main difference occurs during fertilization. In ICSI, an experienced embryologist chooses a single healthy sperm and injects it directly into the egg using a microscope and a fine needle. This method addresses common fertilization issues, such as poor sperm movement or abnormal shape. Once fertilization occurs, the embryo is allowed to grow for a few days in a carefully controlled lab before it is transferred into the uterus. A pregnancy test is performed about two weeks later.

ICSI is a good option for couples dealing with male fertility challenges like low sperm count, weak motility, or abnormal sperm shape. It can also help those who have faced previous IVF failures, have unexplained infertility, or are using frozen sperm or eggs. Dr. Noopur will assess your situation in detail and guide you toward the appropriate treatment with full transparency and care.
