Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is an advanced laboratory technique used within an IVF cycle. In conventional IVF, many sperms are placed around an egg and fertilization occurs naturally in the lab. In ICSI, a single selected sperm is directly injected into the egg using a fine microneedle.
ICSI is not a replacement for IVF it is a fertilization method used during IVF when specific indications exist.

ICSI does not automatically improve pregnancy or live birth rates for all couples. Its main advantage is improving fertilization rates in situations where fertilization is otherwise unlikely. When used appropriately, ICSI prevents failed fertilization, but indiscriminate use does not improve outcomes and may add unnecessary cost and intervention.
ICSI is typically recommended in:
ICSI is decided after a detailed evaluation of both partners and often based on semen analysis, prior IVF outcomes, and egg numbers. The decision is individualized and made to maximize fertilization while minimizing unnecessary intervention.

No. Many couples conceive successfully with conventional IVF. ICSI is used only when clearly indicated.
Large studies show that ICSI is generally safe. Risks are more related to the underlying infertility rather than the technique itself.
Most commonly yes, but it may also be used after previous fertilization failure or in specific egg-related situations.
At Kalpa, we believe treatments should be medically justified, not chosen by default.
The decision is made by a reproductive medicine specialist after reviewing investigations and prior treatment history.
