Treatment options

Three IVF methods, tailored to your case.

The right treatment depends on the causes of infertility, past results, and personal health. We help you navigate the options so the path you choose is the right one.

The three methods

Which one fits your case?

Each method serves a different fertility profile. Here's how they differ at a glance.

Standard

Conventional IVF

Multiple eggs are harvested and fertilized with sperm in a lab. The strongest sperm naturally fertilizes the egg.

Best for

  • Ovulatory disorders
  • Fallopian tube damage
  • Unexplained infertility
Male factor

ICSI

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

A single sperm is injected directly into the egg, bypassing natural fertilization barriers. Highly effective when male infertility is a known issue.

Best for

  • Low sperm count
  • Poor sperm mobility
  • Failed conventional IVF
Advanced

PICSI

Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

A refined ICSI: sperm are selected by their ability to bind to hyaluronic acid, an indicator of maturity and genetic integrity.

Best for

  • Recurrent miscarriages
  • Failed fertilizations
  • Genetic quality concerns

ICSI vs PICSI

Side by side: how the two advanced methods compare.

PICSI is a refined version of ICSI. The key differences are how sperm is selected and assessed.

ICSI Visual selection
PICSI Biomimetic selection
Sperm Selection
Based on morphology (shape) and motility (movement). An embryologist visually examines sperm under a microscope and selects the healthiest-looking one.
Biomimetic approach using a dish coated with hyaluronic acid. Sperm that bind are considered more mature, with fewer DNA abnormalities.
Quality Assessment
Predominantly visual, relies on the embryologist's experience and judgment.
Adds a physiological filter (HA binding) on top of visual assessment, indicating higher genetic integrity.
Best Suited For
Severe male infertility, low sperm count or motility, or when previous IVF attempts have failed.
Couples with failed fertilizations, recurrent miscarriages, or sperm-quality concerns.

Why selection matters

Sperm quality affects every step that follows.

For couples facing male-factor infertility or unexplained recurrent miscarriages, the way sperm is selected for injection can change the outcome. PICSI's hyaluronic-acid binding test is a small step that adds a meaningful layer of biological filtering on top of what the embryologist can see.
