ICSI
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is one of the fertility treatments that helps couples to get pregnant. A single sperm was directly injected into the egg in a laboratory creation of an embryo, allowing for fertilization. It was also a type of in vitro fertilization (IVF). It was used at a time when male fertility was an issue or there was a low sperm count or poor sperm count. ICSI has a high rate of success in helping individuals and couples to have a baby. It was an advanced treatment from IVF (in vitro fertilization) mainly used for Male Infertility.
Process of injecting an embryo into a uterus through a thin tube. After collecting the sperm, it was directly injected into the egg by the lab experts. It was stored in an incubator to become a healthy one, and after that, the embryo was transferred to the woman's uterus through a thin tube. If both the couples are infertile, ICSI is the only way to get a baby through our Dr. Aravind's IVF, which is also known as the Best Fertility Center.
