Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Treatment
One Sperm, One Egg, Infinite Possibilities: Experience ICSI
Best Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) centre
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized form of in vitro fertilization (IVF) that involves the direct injection of a single sperm into the cytoplasm of an egg. This technique is particularly beneficial for couples facing male infertility issues, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology. ICSI enhances the chances of fertilization by bypassing the natural barriers that sperm must overcome to reach the egg, making it a critical option for those who have experienced previous IVF failures or have specific sperm-related challenges
Infertility Conditions Addressed by ICSI
ICSI is commonly recommended for various infertility conditions, including:
- Low Sperm Count
- Poor Sperm Motility
- Abnormal Sperm Shape
- Previous IVF Failures
- Blockages or Surgical Retrieval Needs
Procedure of ICSI
The ICSI procedure involves several key steps
Ovarian Stimulation
Hormonal medications are administered to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs.
Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs are ready, a minor surgical procedure is performed to collect them from the ovaries using ultrasound guidance.
Sperm Collection
A sperm sample is obtained from the male partner on the same day as egg retrieval. In cases of low sperm count, surgical extraction methods may be used.
Fertilization
A single healthy sperm is selected and injected directly into each mature egg using a fine needle under a microscope.
Embryo Culture and Transfer
The fertilized eggs are monitored for development into embryos, which are then transferred into the woman’s uterus after a few days
Tests Required Before ICSI
Before undergoing ICSI treatment, several tests are typically conducted
- Hormonal Assessments
- Semen Analysis
- Ovarian Reserve Testing
- Uterine Evaluation

Frequently Asked Questions About ICSI Treatment
Expert answers from Dr. R. Sravya regarding Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), micromanipulation, fertilization rates, and male infertility solutions.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialized micromanipulation procedure where a single selected viable sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of a mature female egg using a microscopic needle.
ICSI is strongly indicated in scenarios including:
- Severe Oligospermia: Exceptionally low sperm count in the ejaculate.
- Asthenozoospermia & Teratozoospermia: Poor motility or abnormal sperm shape/structure.
- Previous Fertilization Failure: Cycles where conventional IVF yielded low or zero fertilization.
- Surgically Retrieved Sperm: Immature or limited sperm obtained via TESA, PESA, or Micro-TESE.
- Unexplained Infertility & Frozen Oocytes: Ensuring reliable fertilization of vitrified eggs.
In standard IVF, tens of thousands of sperm are co-incubated in a petri dish with each retrieved egg, allowing one sperm to penetrate the egg’s outer shell independently.
In ICSI, an expert embryologist examines individual sperm cells under an inverted high-magnification microscope (up to 400x), selects the morphologically best sperm, and mechanically introduces it directly inside the egg. This overcomes barriers such as thick egg membranes or poor sperm swimming capabilities.
At Riya Fertility & Test Tube Baby Centre in Kurnool, our advanced cleanroom embryology lab achieves an outstanding fertilization rate of 75% to 85% for all injected mature eggs.
By maximizing the number of successfully fertilized embryos, our team can culture embryos to the Day 5 Blastocyst stage, enabling selective single embryo transfer for higher implantation success and lower twin risks.
Yes. For men diagnosed with obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia, viable sperm can frequently be collected directly from the testes or epididymis via minimally invasive techniques such as TESA, PESA, or Micro-TESE.
Because surgically retrieved sperm cannot fertilize eggs independently in standard IVF, ICSI is essential. As long as a few viable sperm cells are found, ICSI gives men with azoospermia the opportunity to father their own biological children.
Yes. Over three decades of worldwide clinical evidence shows that children born through ICSI have normal physical, emotional, and cognitive developmental milestones, identical to naturally conceived children.
At Riya Fertility Centre, Dr. R. Sravya and our certified embryology staff adhere to strict quality control, utilizing ultra-precise micromanipulators and anti-vibration tables to safeguard egg and embryo health.
