Introduction

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 Process

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.

Is ICSI Right for Me?

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.

FAQs

Is ICSI a safe procedure? +
Yes, ICSI is a proven and safe technique that has been used worldwide for over 20 years. Skilled embryologists perform it under strict laboratory conditions to ensure safety and accuracy.
How is ICSI different from IVF? +
In traditional IVF, eggs and sperm are mixed in a lab dish, and fertilization happens naturally. In ICSI, a single sperm is directly injected into each egg. This method is especially helpful for male fertility issues like low sperm count or poor sperm movement.
When is ICSI recommended? +
ICSI is recommended for severe male infertility, low sperm count or movement, previous IVF failures, the use of frozen eggs or sperm, or unexplained infertility. It may also be used when sperm is collected through surgery.
What are the success rates of ICSI at Vasundhara IVF? +
Under the care of Dr. Noopur Bajpai, ICSI has shown strong fertilization and pregnancy success rates, even in challenging cases. Each treatment plan is personalized to improve the chances of success.
