ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a highly specialized assisted reproductive technique developed to overcome severe male infertility or fertilization challenges during IVF. Unlike conventional IVF, where sperm fertilizes the egg naturally in a culture dish, ICSI involves the precise selection of a single healthy sperm, which is injected directly into the cytoplasm of a mature egg using advanced micromanipulation under a high-powered microscope. This method bypasses many barriers to fertilization, including low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology, or previous failed IVF attempts, giving couples a significantly improved chance of conception.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a sophisticated assisted reproductive technique designed to help couples or individuals overcome a variety of fertility challenges. Unlike natural conception, IVF allows fertilization to occur outside the body, in a carefully controlled laboratory environment. Mature eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm, either through conventional IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) when needed. The resulting embryos are monitored for quality and growth before one or more are transferred into the uterus, providing a carefully guided pathway to pregnancy.
Fertility-Enhancing Endoscopic Surgeries
Endoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive procedures that allow our specialists to diagnose and treat conditions affecting male and female fertility with precision. Using a thin tube with a camera , surgeons can correct issues like blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, endometriosis, adhesions, or varicocele, improving your chances of conception. At Nulife IVF Clinic in Seawoods, these procedures are performed by the best fertility specialists, combining advanced technology with personalized care for the best outcomes.
Male infertility workup
Male infertility refers to difficulties in achieving pregnancy due to problems with sperm production, function, or delivery. These issues can result from a variety of causes including low sperm count, poor motility (movement), abnormal sperm shape, or hormonal imbalances. Structural issues, such as blockages in the reproductive tract, infections, or varicoceles, may also affect fertility. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, obesity, or poor diet can negatively impact sperm quality. Certain medical conditions, including diabetes, undescended testes, or previous surgeries, can contribute to infertility. Age-related decline in testosterone and sperm quality can further reduce fertility potential.
