What is ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)?
ICSI is an advanced form of in vitro fertilization (IVF) that helps couples overcome severe male infertility. Unlike conventional IVF, where sperm fertilizes the egg naturally, ICSI involves the precise injection of a single, high-quality sperm directly into the egg. This technique increases fertilization rates, making it ideal for couples with sperm-related issues.
We specialize in ICSI treatment to improve embryo quality and maximize pregnancy success rates. Our expert embryologists use cutting-edge micromanipulation technology to ensure optimal results.
Our specialists assess your fertility profile to determine if ICSI is the best solution
for your journey to parenthood. ICSI is recommended for couples facing
Low sperm count (Oligozoospermia)
Insufficient sperm in the semen.
Poor sperm motility (Asthenozoospermia)
Sperm movement issues affecting fertilization.
Abnormal sperm shape (Teratozoospermia)
Structural defects reducing sperm function.
Obstructive azoospermia
No sperm in the semen due to blockages
How Does ICSI Work?
ICSI follows a step by step process to ensure successful fertilization and embryo development. By using advanced laboratory techniques, this procedure increases the chances of conception for couples dealing with male infertility. we ensure high success rates through state-of-the-art embryo monitoring and expert fertility care.
Step 1: Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval
A semen sample is collected from the male partner or retrieved surgically if necessary. The best-quality sperm is selected using advanced sperm processing techniques.
Step 2: Sperm Collection & Selection
Fertility medications stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
Step 3: Microinjection of Sperm
Using high-precision micromanipulation technology, a single, healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg to maximize fertilization chances.
Step 4: Embryo Development & Monitoring
The fertilized eggs develop into embryos over 3 to 5 days, and only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer.
Step 5: Embryo Transfer & Pregnancy Test
The strongest embryo is transferred into the uterus for implantation. After 12 to 14 days, a pregnancy test confirms the outcome.

PICSI (Physiological ICSI)
PICSI (Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced version of ICSI designed to improve sperm selection for better embryo quality and higher success rates.
Unlike traditional ICSI, which selects sperm based on movement and shape, PICSI uses a natural selection process to identify the most mature and DNA-intact sperm for fertilization. This method enhances the chances of successful implantation and reduces the risk of genetic abnormalities.
Who Should Consider PICSI at NCare IVF, Kannur?
- Repeated IVF or ICSI failures
- High DNA fragmentation in sperm
- Poor embryo development in previous cycles
- Recurrent miscarriages linked to sperm quality
By using hyaluronan binding technology, PICSI mimics the natural sperm selection process, ensuring that only the healthiest sperm fertilize the egg. This leads to improved embryo quality, implantation rates, and overall pregnancy success.
Differences Between ICSI & PICSI
Our fertility specialists recommend the best option based on your unique fertility profile.
| Feature | ICSI | PICSI |
|---|---|---|
| Sperm Selection Method | Based on movement & morphology | Selected using Hyaluronan binding for better DNA integrity |
| Best for | Male infertility (low count, motility, shape) | Recurrent IVF failure, high DNA fragmentation |
| Success Rate | High | Higher due to superior sperm selection |
| Risk of Genetic Damage | Slightly higher | Lower risk of DNA fragmentation |
