Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) [Video]

Video on Intra Cytplasmic Sperm Injection

Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is very helpful in cases where the male has low sperm count. Microinjection or ICSI uses micromanipulation technology to treat infertile males. A single sperm is injected into the middle of the egg (cytoplasm) for fertilisation. The main advantage of this treatment is that low sperm count or abnormal sperms is not a problem. Only live sperms are needed to achieve fertilisation. This avoids the need of your partner to require a donor sperm to fertilise your egg. Your partner will also be happy to father his own baby. Thus, ICSI is one of the most common approaches towards treating male infertility. This video helps you gain an insight into how ICSI can be used to treat infertility in case of low sperm count.
