ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) Treatment in KSA

ICSI – One of the Most Successful Fertility Treatments in Saudi Arabia

If you and your partner are struggling with male-factor infertility, you’re not alone. Many couples in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and across KSA face challenges such as low sperm count, poor motility, or failed fertilization in previous IVF attempts.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is one of the most advanced and effective fertility solutions available today. This breakthrough technique involves injecting a single healthy sperm directly into an egg—offering a powerful solution for couples affected by severe sperm-related infertility.

At VIVILITY, our experts provide personalized ICSI treatment plans across Saudi Arabia, helping couples overcome even the most complex fertility barriers with precision and care.

What is ICSI?

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used primarily to treat male infertility. Unlike conventional IVF where eggs and sperm are mixed in a lab, ICSI involves selecting a single sperm and injecting it directly into the egg using micromanipulation technology.

This microinjection technique supports fertilization even when sperm quality, quantity, or motility is extremely low. It is especially helpful in overcoming issues like:

  • Poor sperm morphology (abnormal shape)
  • Very low sperm count (oligospermia)
  • Non-motile sperm
  • Unexplained fertilization failure

Who Should Consider ICSI Treatment in Saudi Arabia?

ICSI is an excellent option for men with certain reproductive challenges. You may be recommended ICSI if you have:

  • Azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate) with surgical retrieval
  • Oligospermia (low sperm count)
  • Teratozoospermia (poor sperm morphology)
  • Severe sperm motility issues
  • History of IVF cycles with failed fertilization
  • Diagnosed sperm DNA fragmentation
  • Prior TESA, PESA, or Micro-TESE procedures
  • Difficulty achieving fertilization through conventional methods

Our fertility team evaluates your medical history and diagnostic results to recommend the most suitable plan.

How ICSI Works – Step-by-Step Process at VIVILITY

Here’s how the ICSI process unfolds at our fertility centers across KSA:

  1. Sperm Collection – Collected via ejaculation or surgical retrieval (TESA, PESA, or Micro-TESE).
  2. Egg Retrieval – The female partner undergoes ovarian stimulation and eggs are retrieved under sedation.
  3. Sperm Microinjection – A single sperm is carefully selected and injected directly into each mature egg using high-precision micromanipulation tools.
  4. Embryo Development – The fertilized eggs are cultured in a lab to reach the blastocyst stage.
  5. Embryo Transfer – One or more high-quality embryos are transferred to the uterus.
  6. Pregnancy Monitoring – Two weeks later, a pregnancy test is conducted to confirm implantation.

This entire cycle typically takes 3–4 weeks from start to embryo transfer.

ICSI with Sperm Retrieval Techniques in Severe Male Infertility

In cases of non-obstructive azoospermia or previous surgical treatment, ICSI is often paired with sperm retrieval techniques such as:

  • TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)
  • PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
  • Micro-TESE (Microsurgical Sperm Extraction for NOA)

These procedures extract sperm directly from the testes or epididymis and are especially beneficial when no sperm is found in the semen.

At VIVILITY, our andrology team specializes in combining surgical sperm retrieval with ICSI, ensuring optimal use of every viable sperm cell.

ICSI Success Rates in Saudi Arabia

The success rate of ICSI in Saudi Arabia depends on multiple factors, including female partner age, embryo quality, and sperm characteristics.

At VIVILITY, we report:

  • Fertilization success rate: 70–85% of injected eggs
  • Embryo implantation rate: 30–50% per transfer
  • Live birth rate after ICSI: 40–60%, depending on individual fertility profiles
  • Improved outcomes when combined with pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT) or blastocyst culture

Our fertility team works to optimize every step of the ICSI cycle for the highest chance of success.

Ideal for

Female infertility, blocked tubes

Male infertility, poor sperm

Invasiveness

Similar (egg retrieval required)

Same

Success with low sperm count

Low

High

Cost

FAQs

ICSI itself is performed in a lab, so there’s no pain involved. Egg retrieval is done under sedation, and sperm retrieval is minimally invasive.

Typically 3 to 4 weeks, from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer.

This depends on the number of mature eggs retrieved and successfully fertilized—usually several embryos are formed.

Risks are low, but as with any ART procedure, there’s a small chance of fertilization failure or embryo non-viability. Your doctor will discuss all options in detail.

Our embryologists select the best-looking, most motile sperm under high magnification using advanced lab equipment.
