ICSI Treatment at AFCT

Advanced solution for male infertility challenges

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced fertility treatment performed alongside in vitro fertilization (IVF). In this procedure, a single healthy sperm is carefully selected and injected directly into the cytoplasm of a mature egg to achieve fertilization. This treatment is especially beneficial for couples struggling with male infertility, unexplained infertility, or cases where standard IVF has not achieved successful fertilization.

ICSI TREATMENT

Why Choose ICSI?

Procedure of ICSI May Be Recommended For

  • Male factor infertility – low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape
  • Previous IVF fertilization failure – little or no fertilization with standard IVF
  • Unexplained infertility – when no clear cause is identified
  • Frozen or surgically retrieved sperm – including TESE or PESA procedures

Benefits of ICSI

  • Improves fertilization rates when traditional IVF is not effective
  • Allows fertilization with very few viable sperm
  • Enables the use of frozen or surgically retrieved sperm
  • Reduces the risk of multiple sperm fertilizing one egg (polyspermy)
  • Provides new hope for couples facing severe male infertility
At AFCT, our embryologists use state-of-the-art micromanipulation technology to perform the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) process with precision, maximizing the chances of fertilization and pregnancy.

ICSI Process & Expertise

How the ICSI Process Works

  1. Eggs are retrieved during the IVF cycle.
  2. Sperm is prepared, and a single healthy sperm is selected under a microscope.
  3. Using micromanipulation, the sperm is injected directly into the egg's cytoplasm.
  4. Fertilized eggs (zygotes) are cultured and monitored for normal development before transfer or freezing.

This highly specialized intracytoplasmic sperm injection process ensures the best possible chance of achieving a successful pregnancy.

ICSI Expertise at AFCT

ICSI was first introduced to the United States by Dr. Dmitri Dozortsev, AFCT's leading embryologist, who conducted pioneering research on how sperm activates the egg during fertilization. Under his leadership, our Omni Med Laboratory performs ICSI fertility treatment with unmatched precision, giving patients access to the highest level of embryology care.
