Overview – What is ICSI?
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced form of IVF where a single healthy sperm is directly injected into an egg in a specialized laboratory. This technique significantly improves fertilization chances, especially in cases of male infertility.
If you are searching for ICSI treatment in Chattarpur or Vasant Vihar, it is one of the most effective solutions for couples facing low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or previous IVF failures.
ICSI is performed as part of the IVF cycle but uses microscopic precision technology to ensure successful fertilization.

- Poor sperm motility or abnormal shape
