What is ICSI and How Is It Performed?

ICSI or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is a specialized form of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) which is used to cure male infertility. This is a laboratory procedure in which doctors use drugs to stimulate a woman's ovaries to produce mature eggs. As soon as the eggs are ready, they are extracted and are stored or immediately used. On the other hand, the embryologists collect sperms from the man using specialized equipment. They then choose the best sperm and inject it into the cytoplasm of the woman's eggs. The fertilized eggs are then kept in an incubator to allow fertilization.
