Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) in Sofia
ICSI in Sofia – Dr. Meftune Shefketova applies the innovative ICSI method for male factor infertility.
ICSI involves the direct injection of a single sperm into the egg’s cytoplasm using specialized microscopic techniques. Only mature eggs can be fertilized with this method. Fertilization is assessed the following day.
ICSI is often recommended for couples where conventional IVF has not been successful. The success rate depends on the quality of the eggs and sperm, as well as the expertise of the embryology team. Dr. Meftune Shefketova provides individualized care to every patient, ensuring the best possible results in Sofia.
ICSI is used for male factor infertility, such as:
– Low sperm count (oligospermia)
– Reduced motility (asthenospermia)
– Abnormal sperm morphology (teratospermia)
– Obstructive azoospermia (e.g., after vasectomy)
– High DNA fragmentation in sperm
– Failed previous fertilization attempts
