Treatment procedures for infertility problem - Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) (Part 1)



According to the Hong Kong Council on Human Reproductive Technology, a couple may be classified as "infertile" or "sub-infertile" if pregnancy has not occurred after one year of regular unprotected sexual life. In Hong Kong, an estimated one in six couples has difficulty conceiving due to different reasons.

 

There are many reasons for infertility. Problems affecting male fertility include tubal obstruction or damage, semen abnormality or unexplained infertility while those affecting women include ovulation disorders, endometriosis and unexplained infertility. Age may also be one of the other factors affecting fertility.

 

A Reproductive Technology (RT) procedure means a medical, surgical, obstetric or other procedures assisting or bringing about human reproduction by artificial means. RT treatment may be considered as one of the options to increase the chance of conception. Apart from RT treatment, other methods such as timed intercourse, drug therapy and surgery may be recommended by medical practitioners. You are strongly advised to consult your doctor for the most appropriate and suitable procedures if you intend to go through infertility treatment.

 

 

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

ICSI is a method of gamete micromanipulation where a single sperm is injected into the inner cellular structure of an egg. The resulting embryo will be transferred into woman's womb as in a normal IVF cycle.
