Gift Fertility ICSI: Male Infertility Treatment by a Specialist Medical Team

Gift Fertility ICSI is an infertility treatment process in which a doctor or laboratory specialist selects a sperm and injects it directly into the egg. Many people ask what types of male fertility problems ICSI is suitable for. In general, it is commonly used in cases involving male factors such as low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal sperm morphology, or situations requiring TESE/PESA. At Gift Fertility, we provide a personalised ICSI programme for low sperm count so that each case receives an approach that truly matches the underlying problem.

Who Is ICSI Suitable For?

Check Whether ICSI May Be Suitable for Male Fertility Problems

ICSI is often considered when conventional IVF fertilisation may not be sufficient, or when test results show male factors that require a more precise approach.

Low Sperm Count or Poor Sperm Quality

Low sperm count

Poor sperm motility

Abnormal sperm morphology

Advanced Male Factor Findings

Risk of DNA fragmentation

A need for detailed sperm selection assessment

A history of failed fertilisation in a previous cycle

Cases with No Sperm in the Ejaculate

TESE or PESA may need to be considered

Assessment by a specialist doctor is required

In some cases, this can be planned together with ICSI

TESE / PESA

An Option for Men with No Sperm in the Ejaculate

In some cases, the issue is not sperm quality in the semen, but the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate. In such situations, assessment for TESE or PESA plays an important role in treatment planning.

PESA

This is a method of retrieving sperm from the epididymis. It may be suitable in certain cases involving blockage, where the body is still able to produce sperm.

Requires assessment before choosing the method

May be an option in cases of obstructive azoospermia

Should be planned together with the medical team

ICSI

This is a method of retrieving sperm directly from testicular tissue. It may be suitable in certain cases where sperm must be obtained directly from the source of production, and in some patients it may make ICSI possible.

Used in more complex cases

May help make ICSI possible in certain patients

Requires individualised assessment

Why Many Patients Choose Gift Fertility

Because effective ICSI treatment does not end with sperm injection into the egg, but begins with a detailed analysis of male factor issues.

Personalised Male Factor Protocol

Treatment planning begins with the male partner’s actual test results, whether related to sperm count, motility, morphology, or other factors that affect sperm quality.

Support for TESE and PESA

For cases in which no sperm is found in the ejaculate, having sperm retrieval options integrated into the treatment plan helps make care more continuous and clearer.

Laboratory Support for Sperm Selection

Continuous Care for Both Partners

Although ICSI focuses on male factors, effective treatment must assess both the female and male partners together in order to create the most balanced treatment plan.

The ICSI Process

From Your Initial Consultation to Post-Embryo Transfer Follow-Up

The overall timeline for an ICSI cycle is generally similar to that of IVF. However, the treatment plan involves a more detailed evaluation of sperm quality and the selection of the most appropriate technique based on male-factor fertility considerations.

  • 1

    Semen Analysis

A semen analysis is performed to assess key sperm parameters and determine whether ICSI is the most appropriate treatment option. In some cases, sperm retrieval procedures such as TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) or PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) may also be considered.

  • 2

    Personalized Treatment Planning

A customized treatment plan is developed based on the diagnostic findings of both partners. Treatment recommendations are tailored to each individual case rather than following a standardized approach.

  • 3

    Ovarian Stimulation

The female partner undergoes ovarian stimulation using fertility medications according to the physician’s treatment plan, with continuous monitoring throughout the process.

  • 4

    Sperm Collection or Retrieval

Fertility medications are administered for approximately 8–12 days to stimulate egg development, with close monitoring of the ovarian response throughout the process.

  • 5

    ICSI Procedure in the Laboratory

A carefully selected sperm is injected directly into a mature egg by an embryologist using specialized micromanipulation techniques to facilitate fertilization in appropriate cases.

  • 6

    Embryo Culture

The resulting embryos are cultured and monitored in the laboratory to assess their development according to established clinical standards.

  • 7

    Embryo Transfer

Embryo Transfer

  • 8

    Follow-Up Care

Pregnancy testing and early pregnancy monitoring are conducted in accordance with the physician’s treatment and follow-up plan.

ICSI Costs

Understand the Cost Components Before Making a Decision

The cost of an ICSI programme for low sperm count may in some cases involve more components than IVF, as it can include ovarian stimulation, ICSI laboratory fees, and additional costs if TESE or PESA is required.

Fertility medications and ovarian stimulation

Egg Retrieval and ICSI Laboratory Fees

Sperm Selection or Additional Techniques

Because Each Case Has Different Details

This information is intended to help you understand the overall picture of ICSI treatment first. For full pricing details and cost planning, we recommend reviewing the dedicated pricing page or consulting a doctor directly for an assessment tailored to your case.

Start with Confidence

Not sure whether ICSI is suitable for your case?

Starting with a focused examination and assessment of male fertility factors can help provide a clearer picture of whether ICSI is the right option, or whether another treatment approach may be more suitable for you.
