Introduction Procedure for ICSI treatment for infertility or intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a procedure that is recommended when infertility issues are found in men, thus enabling fertilization. It stands for an assisted reproductive technique where eggs and sperm are collected from each partner like in-vitro fertilization.

Circumstances Where ICSI Can Be Performed A man can have different conditions by which fertility can be affected. In those cases, he may become unable to make his female partner pregnant. Regarding ICSI treatment for infertility, it can be indicated when a man contains low sperm count, poor sperm morphology, sperm motility problems, a person who faced vasectomy, problems in ejaculating normally, as regarding retrograde ejaculation due to some problems like diabetes or neurological problems.

This kind of practice can also be recommended when there is a presence of azoospermia in men that stands for a condition where no sperm is found in the man's ejaculation. It has been divided into two different categories, namely obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. Obstructive azoospermia can be caused due to the congenital absence of the vas, scarring from prior infections or previous vasectomy.
