What is intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) ?
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is an infertility treatment procedure that is used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) where a single sperm is directly into the egg cytoplasm ( it is a gel-like substance in the center of an egg, made up of water, salt, and other molecules) for fertilization. During conventional IVF, the egg is placed in a cultured dish with many sperm and fertilization occurs, when one sperm penetrates the egg naturally. Your chances of having a successful pregnancy are the same with ICSI as with traditional IVF. It’s estimated that 50% to 80% of ICSI attempts result in fertilization.
