Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced technique for fertilizing eggs, providing valuable support for couples facing various challenges in semen quality. This method has proven highly beneficial, enabling successful conception under conditions where conventional methods might be less promising.
During ICSI, a single sperm is precisely injected into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This precise procedure under a microscope significantly enhances the chances of successful fertilization. This is particularly advantageous for couples dealing with compromised sperm quality where regular fertilization cannot be assured.
The steps before and after fertilization are similar to those of classical in vitro fertilization (IVF). After successful fertilization, the embryo is transferred into the uterus, which develops further and grows into a pregnancy.
The ICSI method provides a solution for couples facing various challenges in semen quality, including:
The ICSI method has proven highly successful, helping many couples realize their dream of parenthood. Regarding potential risks and developmental abnormalities after ICSI fertilization, it’s important to note that some studies indicate a slightly increased risk of developmental issues. However, it remains unclear whether these rare incidents are genuinely attributed to ICSI itself or yet-unknown genetic factors in men with severe sperm anomalies.
