Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is typically recommended in the following situations:
1- Male Factor Infertility:
-
Low sperm count (oligospermia).
-
Poor sperm motility.
-
Abnormal sperm morphology.
-
Previous failed fertilization attempts with standard in vitro fertilization (IVF).
2- Fertilization Issues:
-
Problems with fertilization observed in previous IVF cycles.
-
Unexplained infertility where conventional IVF may not be successful.
3- Obstructive Azoospermia:
-
When there is a blockage preventing the release of sperm.
4- Non-Obstructive Azoospermia:
-
In cases where there is a very low sperm count in the ejaculate.
5- Ejaculatory Dysfunction:
-
Conditions that affect sperm delivery during ejaculation.
6- Sperm Retrieval Procedures:
-
In conjunction with sperm retrieval procedures such as testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or epididymal sperm aspiration (TESA).
7- Frozen Sperm Samples:
-
When using frozen sperm samples with poor motility or low viability.
8- Previous IVF Failure:
-
After repeated unsuccessful attempts with conventional IVF.
ICSI is a potent method for addressing male infertility challenges. However, its recommendation hinges on a thorough evaluation of the fertility health of both partners by a specialist. Factors like medical history, fertility test results, and prior treatments are considered to tailor the approach to the couple's specific needs in their quest for conception.
