Here are detailed answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) treatment at Neo Fertility Clinic in Marathahalli - Whitefield - Bangalore.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized form of IVF designed to help couples dealing with male infertility issues. While traditional IVF allows sperm to fertilize an egg in a lab naturally, ICSI involves injecting a single, carefully selected sperm directly into the egg to ensure fertilization.
ICSI is typically recommended for:
✔️ Men with low sperm count or poor sperm motility
✔️ Cases where sperm needs to be retrieved surgically (e.g., TESA/PESA)
✔️ Couples who have had failed fertilization in a previous IVF cycle
ICSI is ideal for couples facing male infertility challenges, including:
✔️ Low sperm count – Fewer sperm in the semen reduce fertilization chances.
✔️ Poor sperm motility – Sperm that do not swim efficiently may struggle to reach and fertilize the egg.
✔️ Abnormal sperm shape – Misshapen sperm may not be able to penetrate the egg.
✔️ Azoospermia (No sperm in ejaculate) – ICSI is used after sperm retrieval via TESA or PESA.
✔️ Couples with unexplained infertility – Where no clear cause is identified after standard fertility tests.
✔️ Cases of previous failed IVF cycles – If conventional IVF did not result in fertilization.
If you’re unsure whether ICSI is the right treatment for you, our fertility specialists at Neo Fertility Clinic in Marathahalli - Whitefield - Bangalore can guide you.
Success rates for ICSI depend on multiple factors, including the woman’s age, the quality of eggs and sperm, and any underlying fertility conditions.

No, ICSI is not painful. The only steps that might cause mild discomfort include:
✔️ Ovarian stimulation injections – Similar to hormone injections for IVF, may cause mild bloating.
✔️ Egg retrieval procedure – Done under mild sedation, so you won’t feel pain.
✔️ Embryo transfer – A simple, painless process that does not require anesthesia.
For male patients undergoing sperm retrieval (TESA or PESA), a minor surgical sperm extraction procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
An ICSI treatment cycle takes about 4-6 weeks, following this timeline:
✔️ Week 1-2: Ovarian stimulation with hormone injections.
✔️ Week 3: Egg retrieval and sperm collection.
✔️ Week 3-4: Fertilization via ICSI and embryo development in the lab.
✔️ Week 4-5: Embryo transfer to the uterus.
✔️ Week 6: Pregnancy test to confirm success.
ICSI is a safe and widely used fertility procedure, but like any treatment, it comes with some risks and mild side effects:
✔️ Mild bloating or discomfort due to ovarian stimulation.
✔️ Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) – Rare but treatable side effect from hormone medications.
✔️ Multiple pregnancy chances – If more than one embryo is transferred, twins or triplets are possible.
✔️ Low fertilization rate risk – In rare cases, sperm injection may not result in fertilization.
Our expert fertility specialists at Neo Fertility Clinic in Marathahalli - Whitefield - Bangalore ensure that risks are minimized with personalized protocols and close monitoring.
