Healthcare providers most commonly use ICSI when male infertility affects a person's ability to conceive a child. What is IVF and ICSI treatment? IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) and ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) are assisted reproductive treatment (ART) procedures in which eggs are fertilised outside the body. IVF and ICSI involve a series of steps taken over several weeks.
