Ep 88: ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) with Dr. Matthew Lederman at RMA

We often hear questions about ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) and its role in fertility. So to answer them, today we are joined by Reproductive Endocrinologist and Infertility Specialist Dr. Matthew Lederman, who operates from the new RMA of New York clinic in Westchester. Dr. Lederman explains what ICSI is and how it can help to improve fertilization rates in male-factor infertility. Tuning in you’ll hear what three parameters they look at when doing a semen analysis and how ICSI differs from traditional IVF. We cover the role of ICSI when there is no sperm in the ejaculate, why they do the ICSI for patients who are having PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing), and the role of PGT in the success rates of fertilization. You’ll also hear why ICSI is used to fertilize eggs that have been frozen, what ZyMōt is, and how it works, as well as insight into the prevalence of unexplained infertility issues.
