• ICSI stands for Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm
  Injection.
• It is an IVF or in vitro fertilization procedure
  in which sperm is injected directly into the
  cytoplasm of the egg cell or ovum.
• This method is used to overcome male infertility.
  
• It was introduced in the early 1990s and has been
  used successfully to treat many men with
  infertility problems.

Why is ICSI performed?

• Low sperm count in male partners.
• Males with fewer motile sperms or sperms move
  less and do not reach the eggs.
• Sperm with unusual shapes, such as round heads.
• For couples who have experienced multiple
  unexplained fertilization failures.
• Sperm absence in the ejaculate due to
  obstructions.
• Sperm deficiency due to faulty sperm production.
• Ejaculatory problems.
• infections or immunological components.

ICSI Success Rate

• The eggs and sperm are collected on the same day
  that the procedure is to be performed.
• The egg will be extracted from the female's body
  using an ultrasound-guided needle.
• The male partner will provide a sperm sample the
  same day.
• If there is no sperm in the sample, the doctors
  will extract it from the testicle itself.
• The cells surrounding the egg are scraped, and a
  needle is inserted to inject the sperm.
• At this stage, 5-10 of the eggs degenerate,
  failing the entire process.

• ICSI Procedure has an extremely high success
  rate.
• The process is carried out under carefully
  monitored lab conditions, and success rates can
  reach 80.
• The sperm and egg were earlier combined, allowing
  the sperm to enter the egg on its own without any
  assistance from a human.
• These methods did not produce any fruitful
  outcomes.
• Modern methods are extremely sophisticated and
  provide fruitful outcomes.

• In the case of male infertility, ICSI is
  extremely beneficial.
• Fertilization does not occur when the sperm is of
  poor quality.
• Similarly, ICSI works when the sperm is immobile.
  
• If the sperm is immobile, it cannot reach the
  eggs. In some cases, there are no sperms in the
  ejaculate.
• This is referred to as azoospermia.
• ICSI works like magic in cases of both
  obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia.
• It is also beneficial for people who had their
  sperm frozen before treatment.

• ICSI Treatment has a success rate of 50 to 80,
  there is no guarantee that the embryos will be
  healthy.
• Sometimes the female's age plays a significant
  role and can lead to failure.
• It is also important that the sperm is in good
  health.
• Fertilization may not occur if the sperm is not
  in good health.
• However, once the childbirth is complete, the
  chances of defects in the baby are extremely low
  less than 1.
