Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, or ICSI, is an advanced fertility treatment technique and a specialized IVF technique designed to help couples overcome male infertility challenges, including low sperm count, poor sperm quality, or difficulties with sperm penetrating the egg. It involves the direct injection of a single healthy sperm into an egg, enhancing fertilization chances for couples who have struggled with conventional fertility treatments or where male fertility issues are a contributing factor.
