ICSI Fertility Treatment

This technique allows couples who have struggled with conceiving to become candidates for In Vitro Fertilization. In this article we will explain how.

IVF with ICSI is a specialized technique that directly injects a single sperm into an egg, significantly increasing the chances of successful fertilization. This method is beneficial for couples facing male infertility issues. It works by bypassing many obstacles that prevent natural fertilization.

Our ICSI centers in the USA and Mexico offer this advanced ICSI treatment, helping couples achieve their dream of parenthood. Our ICSI fertility treatment is a trusted option for those seeking a reliable solution to their fertility challenges.

What is ICSI?

The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a relatively new procedure that allows couples with severe infertility problems to be candidates for In Vitro Fertilization.

ICSI looks for the best quality sperm to achieve pregnancy, without having to resort to donor sperm.

Who is it recommended for?

It is advisable to use this technique when a man’s semen sample presents:

Low sperm count (oligozoospermia):

A significantly low sperm count makes natural conception difficult. It requires specialized ICSI fertility treatment to increase the chances of successful fertilization.

Irregular motility and abnormal morphology (asthenozoospermia or teratozoospermia):

The sperm's ability to swim and penetrate the egg is compromised here. This issue makes IVF with ICSI a preferred option for many couples.

Absence of spermatozoa (azoospermia):

A condition where sperm is absent, making traditional methods unlikely to achieve fertilization.

High fragmentation of sperm DNA:

A condition where the genetic material (DNA) within the sperm is damaged or broken into smaller pieces.

Sperm cells unable to fertilize an egg cell:

ICSI can help by directly injecting a selected sperm cell into the egg, bypassing any barriers to fertilization

ICSI treatment is also an effective alternative for female couples and single women who wish to have a baby 100% of their own. It offers them the opportunity to conceive through advanced reproductive technology at our ICSI center.

How successful is intracytoplasmic sperm injection?

ICSI is a highly effective fertility treatment, especially for couples facing male infertility issues. The success of ICSI largely depends on factors like the quality of the sperm and eggs, the woman’s age, and overall health.

On average, ICSI has a success rate similar to traditional IVF, ranging from 50% to 80%, depending on the specific circumstances. At Ingenes, our ICSI centers in the USA and Mexico are known for their high success rates. We use advanced technology and have a skilled, experienced team.

ICSI is particularly beneficial when the sperm count is low or the sperm has poor motility or abnormal shape. By directly injecting a single sperm into the egg, ICSI dramatically improves the chances of fertilization and helps couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
