ICSI Treatment in Hyderabad
When fertilization needs precision.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced IVF technique where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to improve fertilization chances—especially in male-factor infertility or prior fertilization failure.

ICSI explained.
ICSI is a laboratory technique used within an IVF cycle. Instead of letting sperm fertilize the egg on its own, the embryologist selects one healthy sperm and injects it directly into the egg. This helps overcome barriers to fertilization and supports couples facing male-factor infertility or fertilization issues.
Who is it Recommended for?
- Low sperm count (low concentration)
- Low motility (sperm movement issues)
- Abnormal sperm morphology (shape concerns)
- Obstructive azoospermia / surgical sperm retrieval cases (e.g., TESA/PESA/MESA)
- High sperm DNA fragmentation (in select scenarios)
- Previous IVF fertilization failure or low fertilization rates
IVF vs ICSI
Both IVF and ICSI follow the same overall journey (stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo development, embryo transfer). The difference is only the fertilization step:
Why Mitra Matters
ICSI
A trained embryologist selects a single healthy sperm and injects it directly into each mature egg using specialized equipment. This is done to overcome fertilization barriers, especially when sperm quality or movement is a concern.
IVF
Eggs and sperm are placed together in a controlled lab environment, allowing fertilization to happen naturally—similar to how it would occur in the body, but under carefully monitored conditions.
Our goal is simple
Your ICSI journey (step-by-step)
A typical ICSI cycle usually runs 3–6 weeks, depending on your protocol and response.
- Find the right option for me
Step 01: Consultation + diagnosis review
We review both partners’ reports, understand your timeline, and define the right next step.
Step 02: Baseline tests & cycle mapping
Medicines help your ovaries develop multiple eggs. Monitoring is done through scans and blood tests.
Step 03: Ovarian stimulation + monitoring
Eggs are collected using a guided procedure; sedation is commonly offered for comfort.
Step 04: Egg retrieval (short procedure)
Eggs are fertilized with sperm, and embryos are monitored as they develop over a few days.
Step 05: Sperm collection / retrieval (if required)
A selected embryo is placed into the uterus using a thin catheter. You can typically return to routine activities soon after.
Step 06: ICSI fertilization in the lab
A pregnancy test is scheduled after the transfer window recommended by your care team.
Step 07: Embryo development
Embryos are observed for development over the next few days.
Step 08: Embryo transfer or freezing (FET planning)
Depending on your case, we proceed with transfer or freeze embryos for a planned future transfer.
Step 09: Pregnancy test + follow-up
We plan your next steps clearly—whether positive, borderline, or negative.

IVF Treatment
Options within IVF
From your first conversation to every step that follows, we focus on clarity, comfort, and guidance that truly supports you throughout your fertility journey.
ICSI
A precision IVF method where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg to improve fertilization chances. Commonly recommended for male-factor infertility, low sperm count/motility, or prior fertilization challenges—guided carefully at every step.
FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer)
Confidential male fertility evaluation and treatment guidance. Semen analysis, hormone review, and clear next-step planning—because fertility is a shared journey.
Embryo freezing
Preserve high-quality embryos safely for future use, giving you flexibility for later transfers and family planning. Ideal when you want to pause treatment, plan multiple attempts, or keep options open—stored securely with guided follow-up.
Know more about ICSI
What affects ICSI success?
ICSI improves fertilization—but overall outcomes depend on multiple factors:
Age and egg quality
Number of mature eggs retrieved
Sperm quality + DNA health
Embryo development
Uterine lining and timing of transfer
Underlying diagnosis (PCOS, endometriosis, etc.)
Lifestyle and metabolic factors (thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, insulin resistance)
You’ll get clarity: what’s within control, what needs support, and what “realistic success” looks like for your case.
Is ICSI safe?
ICSI is widely used and generally considered safe. Like all fertility procedures, it has risks and limitations, and your doctor will counsel you based on your reports.
Possible considerations include:
Not every egg fertilizes even with ICSI
Some eggs may not be mature/usable
Embryo development can vary
Pregnancy outcomes still depend on egg/embryo quality and uterine factors
Our priority: safe stimulation, ethical decision-making, and avoiding unnecessary add-ons.
Preparing for ICSI
To plan ICSI effectively, we typically review:
For her:
AMH / ovarian reserve indicators
Ultrasound assessment
Hormone profile (cycle-based)
For him:
Semen analysis (and repeat if needed)
Additional tests if clinically indicated (e.g., DNA fragmentation—doctor guided)
Lifestyle support (simple, realistic):
Sleep + stress support
Nutrition corrections
Supplements only when needed (evidence-based)
Clear timelines and checkpoints
ICSI cost clarity
ICSI costs can vary based on:
Medicines and monitoring needs
Lab methods used (ICSI vs IVF)
Embryo freezing and storage
Number of transfers/cycles required
Any additional clinical procedures (if needed)
Our promise: you’ll receive a transparent estimate with clear line items—so you can plan confidently.
Take the step that brings clarity to your journey.

We were scared we would need IVF, but the team guided us gently and suggested a simpler treatment that worked. It felt like they truly cared about us, not just the procedure.

Questions you might be afraid to ask (but should).
Is ICSI only for male infertility?
Mostly, yes—but it may also be recommended for prior fertilization failure, low fertilization in IVF, or specific clinical scenarios.
Does ICSI guarantee fertilization?
No. It improves the chances of fertilization, but egg maturity and quality still play a major role.
Is ICSI painful?
ICSI is done in the lab. The procedures you feel are similar to IVF—monitoring visits and egg retrieval (often with sedation for comfort).
Can we freeze embryos after ICSI?
Yes. Many couples freeze embryos for future transfers (FET), depending on your treatment plan.
Is ICSI always better than IVF?
Not always. If there’s no fertilization concern, conventional IVF may be sufficient. The right choice depends on your diagnosis.
How many days after transfer is the pregnancy test?
Your doctor will schedule this based on your transfer day and protocol.
