When Fertilization Needs a Helping Hand
Sometimes, even with IVF, fertilization may not occur naturally — especially when sperm health is severely compromised. That’s where ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) offers a precise, breakthrough solution. At Sparsh IVF, we’ve helped hundreds of couples with male infertility issues conceive healthy pregnancies using ICSI — often after years of failed attempts.
With ICSI, we give nature a gentle but highly effective nudge, creating possibilities where few seemed to exist.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized form of IVF in which a single, healthy-looking sperm is directly injected into the cytoplasm of a mature egg using micromanipulation tools under a powerful microscope.
This bypasses several natural barriers — such as poor motility or abnormal shape — that might prevent fertilization in traditional IVF.
| Aspect | IVF | ICSI |
|---|---|---|
| Fertilization | Egg and sperm are combined in a petri dish and left to fertilize naturally | A single sperm is injected directly into the egg |
| Ideal For | Couples with mild infertility or unexplained infertility | Couples with severe male factor infertility or previous IVF failure |
| Control | Lower control over fertilization | High precision and control over fertilization process |
| Cost | Slightly lower | Slightly higher due to advanced micromanipulation |
At Sparsh IVF, we recommend ICSI when natural fertilization through IVF is unlikely to succeed.
ICSI is often advised in cases of:

At Sparsh IVF, ICSI success is optimized through:
Success Rates (per cycle):
We also see fertilization rates of 70–85% in ICSI cycles, depending on egg and sperm quality.
While ICSI costs slightly more than IVF due to lab expertise and micromanipulation, it remains a cost-effective solution for male infertility treatment in India.
Sparsh IVF offers transparent ICSI pricing, including:
Optional services like embryo freezing, genetic testing, or donor programs are discussed in advance.
Male factor infertility doesn’t have to be the end of your story. With ICSI, even a single viable sperm can lead to a healthy pregnancy. At Sparsh IVF, our team ensures every case is handled with scientific rigor, emotional sensitivity, and total transparency.
