ICSI, or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, is a type of IVF procedure which is recommended in cases of male infertility. In the ICSI variation of IVF, live sperm is injected into a woman’s eggs to allow fertilization. Unlike traditional IVF, where thousands of sperm are kept next to eggs in a petri dish to promote fertilization, ICSI involves injecting the sperm directly, which increases the chances of fertilization.
Intracytoplasmic means the sperm is injected inside the egg’s cytoplasm, the gel-like substance in the centre of the substance.

Diagnosis – ICSI Treatment
The diagnostic procedure for ICSI is similar to IVF. Diagnostic tests help fertility specialists to investigate the cause of infertility and rule out underlying health conditions. The most commonly performed tests before ICSI treatment are:
Ovarian Reserve Test: This test is performed to figure out the number of eggs present in a woman’s body.
Tubal Patency Test: In this test, the doctors insert a contrast agent into the fallopian tube via the uterus. The contrast allows the doctor to get a clear view of the lining of the uterus and the patency of the fallopian tube.
Semen Evaluation: This test helps in analyzing the total count, shape, motility, and concentration of the sperm. After analyzing these parameters, the doctors determine whether the patient requires advanced or basic treatments.
Prolactin and Thyroid Hormones: This test helps doctors look for abnormal prolactin and thyroid levels, as they can affect conception.
Screening of infectious diseases: HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Syphilis are the common parameters covered in this test.
Mock Embryo Transfer: This test helps doctors learn more about the functioning of the woman’s uterus and cervix.
To ensure the efficacy of ICSI treatment, patients can follow some tips to prepare for the procedure. Following these steps will help increase the chances of conception. Listed below are some preparation tips for ICSI treatment:
In regular IVF treatment, the woman is given drugs to stimulate the ovaries that help increase the production of eggs. At the same time, the doctor monitors the development of the eggs. The ICSI procedure is done when the eggs are mature and ready to be retrieved from the ovaries. The procedure is performed in the following order:
Step 1: Retrieval
In this step, the man is asked to produce a sperm sample. It involves ejaculating in a cup. In some cases, the doctors retrieve sperm surgically. Sometimes, frozen sperm samples are also used.
Simultaneously, multiple eggs are retrieved from a woman’s ovaries with the help of a fine needle and ultrasound probe.
Step 2: Injecting Sperm Into the Egg
After retrieving the semen sample, the fertility specialists wash a single sperm and isolate it. Then, a fine and hollow needle is used to inject the sperm into an egg. The sperm can take up to 24 hours to fertilize the egg and form an embryo.
Step 3: Monitoring the Embryo
After fertilization, the embryos are kept in a lab for 6 days for monitoring purposes. During this period, the doctors monitor the growth and development of the embryo. This step helps doctors choose the healthiest and most viable embryos.
Step 4: Transferring The Embryos
The transfer takes place 2 to 5 days after fertilization. Upon reaching the developmental stage, one or two embryos are selected and transferred into the woman’s uterus with the help of an ultrasound-guided catheter.
Step 5: Pregnancy Test
The final step of this procedure is the ‘pregnancy check’. This is performed 2 weeks after the embryo implantation and involves an hCG blood test.

After ICSI treatment, the fertility specialists observe the fertilized egg in the lab to check for successful fertilization. After five to six days, a healthy fertilized egg divides into cells and forms a blastocyst. Your healthcare provider will evaluate the blastocyst’s size and cell mass to determine when it’s most likely to lead to a pregnancy.
An embryo transfer occurs on either the fifth or sixth day following the egg retrieval procedure or commonly the transfer is delayed for a month or even years. Your doctor will discuss the timing of your embryo transfer with you. Using ultrasound technology, your healthcare provider will insert a catheter (long, thin tube) into your vagina and inject the embryo into your uterus. For pregnancy to happen, the embryo needs to implant (attach) to your uterus. Your fertility specialist may recommend waiting at least two weeks before taking a pregnancy test.
The benefits of ICSI treatment are manifold, which is precisely why it has evolved as a preferred treatment for male infertility. Listed below are some advantages of ICSI treatment:
ICSI is generally suggested when:
No. ICSI procedure isn’t painful, and patients do not experience any discomfort during or after the procedure.
One cycle of ICSI can take anywhere between four to six weeks to complete. Patients may have to visit the hospital or fertility clinic a couple of times during a cycle.
ICSI treatment in India can cost you anywhere between 2,40,000 to Rs. 2,50,000 per cycle. However, the cost is subject to vary based on several factors, including the city you’re getting treated in, the doctor’s experience, the cost of diagnostic tests, the age of the patient, the overall health condition of the patient, the cause of infertility, and so on.
Are there any complications of ICSI?
Like any other treatment, ICSI also has its fair share of complications. Listed below are some risks of this treatment:
The chances of birth defects and other issues concerning the baby’s development with ICSI are similar to that of IVF. However, they are slightly higher than that in the case of natural conception.
The success rate of ICSI treatment is quite high. 8 out of 10 eggs fertilize in the process, ensuring a success rate of 80 to 85%.
