Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a highly specialized form of IVF designed specifically to overcome severe male factor infertility. It involves the direct injection of a single, carefully selected sperm into the cytoplasm of a mature egg — bypassing all natural barriers and achieving fertilisation even when sperm count, motility, or morphology is severely compromised.
ICSI has revolutionised the treatment of male infertility. Men with extremely low sperm counts (oligospermia), absent sperm in ejaculate (azoospermia — with surgical retrieval via TESA/PESA), poor sperm motility (asthenospermia), or abnormal sperm shape (teratospermia) can now achieve biological fatherhood with ICSI at Nova IVF Fertility.
