Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI-ET) in Hyderabad – Advanced Fertility Treatment at Shubha Fertility

What is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)?

ICSI is a specific type of IVF in which a mature egg is directly injected with a single, healthy sperm to facilitate fertilization. This method is very useful for treating severe male infertility. ICSI helps couples conceive even with low-quality sperm by avoiding the process that IVF uses, which lets sperm spontaneously fertilize the egg in a lab dish. Embryo Transfer (ET), a vital step in ICSI, involves carefully inserting the fertilized egg (embryo) into the uterus to facilitate implantation. When using frozen or donor sperm, prior IVF failures, or substantial sperm abnormalities, ICSI is frequently advised.

How ICSI Procedure Works – Step-by-Step

1. Ovarian Stimulation – Hormonal injections help produce multiple eggs.


2. Egg Retrieval – Eggs are collected from the ovaries through a minor, painless procedure.


3. Sperm Collection – Partner’s or donor sperm is obtained and processed.


4. Sperm Injection (ICSI) – A single sperm is injected into each mature egg using a microneedle under a microscope.


5. Embryo Culture & Monitoring – Embryos are grown in the lab for 3–5 days.


6. Embryo Transfer (ET) – The healthiest embryo is transferred to the uterus.


7. Pregnancy Testing – A blood test is done after 12–14 days to confirm pregnancy.

Right Candidate for ICSI

ICSI is a highly effective option for individuals or couples facing:

• Low sperm count (oligospermia)
• Poor sperm motility or abnormal morphology
• Repeated IVF failures
• Use of frozen or donor sperm

If you’re seeking male infertility treatment or facing sperm quality issues, ICSI may be the most promising route to parenthood.

IVF vs ICSI – Which is Best?

ICSI entails manually injecting sperm into the egg, while IVF permits natural fertilization in a lab dish. When male infertility is an issue, ICSI is particularly advised. Depending on your circumstances, a fertility specialist will recommend the best course of action. At Shubha Fertility, we make sure you get the most effective, evidence-based care possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is ICSI different from IVF?
   In IVF, many sperm are placed near the egg for natural fertilization. In ICSI, one sperm is injected directly into the egg, ideal for sperm-related issues.


2. Is ICSI painful for men or women?
   The procedure is not painful. Egg retrieval involves mild sedation. Sperm collection is simple and non-invasive.


3. How long does ICSI take from start to pregnancy test?
   The full ICSI cycle takes around 4–6 weeks, including ovarian stimulation, fertilization, and embryo transfer. A pregnancy test follows about 2 weeks after transfer.


4. What are the benefits of ICSI treatment?
   ICSI increase fertilization chances when sperm quality is low, helps in cases of previous IVF failure, and offers better control over the fertilization process.


5. Are there any side effects after taking ICSI treatment?
   Most side effects are mild—bloating, cramping, or temporary discomfort. Serious risks are rare and minimized with expert monitoring.
