My husband has a low sperm count, and the doctor recommended IVF with ICSI. We are anxious about the process and success rate. Does male infertility affect IVF success significantly, and what should we know before starting the procedure?

Male infertility is a common reason for using ICSI, where a single sperm is directly injected into the egg. This technique has high success rates even when sperm count or motility is low. Male factors may slightly affect fertilization rates, but overall pregnancy outcomes are very promising. Couples should understand the procedure, expected monitoring, and possible emotional stress. Laboratory expertise and careful handling of sperm and eggs are key to optimizing results. ICSI allows many couples who might otherwise struggle to conceive to achieve successful pregnancies.
