ICSI Treatment in Dwarka - Crystal Fertility and IVF Center

ICSI treatment consultation at Crystal Fertility, Dwarka Sector 23

ICSI treatment in Dwarka is usually brought up once a semen analysis shows a count, motility or morphology issue significant enough that conventional IVF fertilization is unlikely to work on its own. Our Sector 23 lab runs ICSI on-site; for the broader comparison with standard IVF, see our ICSI treatment page.

What ICSI Actually Changes

The egg retrieval, stimulation and embryo transfer steps are identical to a standard IVF cycle. The difference is at the fertilization stage: instead of placing eggs and sperm together and letting fertilization happen on its own, an embryologist injects a single selected sperm directly into each mature egg under a microscope.

When ICSI Is Recommended

  • Low sperm count or poor motility
  • Abnormal sperm morphology
  • A prior IVF cycle where fertilization failed or was unusually low
  • Sperm retrieved surgically (such as through TESA/PESA)
  • Using previously frozen sperm with limited quantity

If your semen analysis is within normal range, we'd typically recommend standard IVF fertilization rather than ICSI by default — it's an added lab step, not an automatic upgrade.

A Local Lab Matters Here

Because ICSI is performed on eggs within hours of retrieval, having the embryology lab in the same building as the procedure room — which is the case at our Dwarka Sector 23 clinic — removes any transport step between retrieval and fertilization.
