Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI Treatment: Overcoming Male Factor Infertility with Precision Science

If male factor infertility due to complex sperm challenges is impacting your dream of conceiving, you are not alone—and there are highly successful solutions available. At New Dawn IVF & Fertility Centre, our renowned specialists, Professor Biodun Nelson Olagbuji and Dr. Emmanuel David, frequently recommend Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) to help couples overcome these hurdles.

Performed inside our state-of-the-art embryology laboratory, ICSI is an advanced, high-precision technique where a single, carefully selected healthy sperm is injected directly into the cytoplasm of a mature egg during your IVF cycle. By bypassing natural barriers to fertilization, this specialized procedure helps embryos develop far more efficiently, frequently yielding much higher success rates for couples facing severe fertility roadblocks.

Is ICSI Right for You?

While traditional IVF is excellent for many, our medical team utilizes ICSI to target specific, complex reproductive challenges. You may be an ideal candidate for ICSI if you are navigating any of the following:

Severe Male Infertility: Ideal for overcoming very low sperm counts, poor sperm motility (movement), or abnormal sperm morphology (shape).
Previous IVF Setbacks: Highly recommended for couples who have experienced a previous IVF cycle failure due to poor or unexplained egg fertilization.
Surgically Retrieved Sperm: A crucial next step if sperm must be collected directly from the testes due to a past vasectomy, anatomical blockages, or genetic absence of the vas deferens.
Using Frozen Samples: Essential for optimizing success when using frozen partner or donor sperm, especially if the freeze-thaw process has slightly compromised sperm quality.
Advanced Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT): The preferred fertilization method when embryos are undergoing genetic screening, as it prevents extra sperm from adhering to the egg shell and skewing your lab results.

Advanced Laboratory Precision Behind Our ICSI Success

At New Dawn IVF & Fertility Centre, we give your embryos the absolute best start using world-class technology. Inside our state-of-the-art embryology lab, our specialists use high-resolution inverted microscopes and precision micromanipulation tools to select the single healthiest, most active sperm and inject it directly into the egg.

By bypassing the egg’s natural outer barriers, ICSI proactively solves the fertilization challenges that traditional IVF methods can sometimes struggle to overcome.

Traditional IVF vs. ICSI: A Quick Look

Traditional IVF: Eggs and sperm are placed together in a specialized dish to fertilize naturally overnight.
ICSI Treatment: Our embryologists take a proactive approach, directly introducing the best sperm into the egg—making it the gold standard for overcoming severe male factor infertility.

Whichever path fits your unique journey, our hands-on medical team carefully nurtures your developing embryos before gently transferring them to the uterus for a healthy pregnancy.

Maximizing Your IVF Success with ICSI

To give you the highest chance of bringing a baby home, our advanced embryology lab focuses on retrieving and selecting top-quality mature eggs. When traditional methods need a boost, pairing your IVF cycle with ICSI dramatically improves fertilization rates—typically achieving a 50% to 80% success rate by ensuring the healthiest sperm directly meets the egg.
