ICSI: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialized form of In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) that involves the direct injection of a single, healthy sperm into a mature egg. This highly advanced technique is often recommended for couples facing severe male infertility or previous IVF failures. It significantly increases the chances of fertilisation and successful embryo development when conventional IVF may not be sufficient. At East End Fertility Clinic, led by Dr. G.B. Dutta—one of the best infertility doctors in South Kolkata—we offer ICSI using state-of-the-art technology and personalised care, helping countless couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
