Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a laboratory procedure used to help couples with fertility issues conceive a healthy pregnancy. It involves directly injecting a single sperm into an egg using a fine needle under a microscope. This technique is often used when sperm have difficulty reaching or fertilizing the egg naturally, such as in cases of low sperm count or poor motility. By enhancing the chances of fertilization, ICSI increases the likelihood of embryo development, which can then be transferred to the woman's uterus for potential pregnancy.
