HA-ICSI (PICSI) in Bangkok, Thailand
HA-ICSI, also known as PICSI (Physiological ICSI), is an advanced technique that improves fertilization outcomes by selecting the healthiest sperm for injection into the egg. At Lifespan Birth in Bangkok, Thailand, we use HA-ICSI to help international patients achieve higher IVF success rates with precision and care.
What Is HA-ICSI?
HA-ICSI (Hyaluronic Acid-Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a specialised form of ICSI that uses hyaluronic acid to identify and select mature, high-quality sperm with optimal DNA integrity. By mimicking the natural sperm-egg binding process, HA-ICSI helps improve embryo development and overall pregnancy success rates.
How the HA-ICSI Process Works
A semen sample is collected and processed in the laboratory.
Mature sperm bind to a hyaluronic acid surface, indicating healthy DNA and maturity.
Only selected sperm are injected into the egg using ICSI technology.
This added selection step helps ensure that fertilization occurs with the best-quality sperm possible.
Who Should Consider HA-ICSI (PICSI)?
HA-ICSI is recommended for:
Couples who have experienced previous IVF or ICSI failure
Men with poor sperm morphology or motility
Patients with high levels of sperm DNA fragmentation
Couples seeking improved fertilization and embryo quality during IVF in Thailand
Benefits of HA-ICSI
Selects sperm with higher DNA integrity
Reduces risk of abnormal fertilization
Improves embryo development and quality
Increases chances of pregnancy success for IVF abroad
HA-ICSI vs. Conventional ICSI
While conventional ICSI injects any motile sperm directly into the egg, HA-ICSI includes an additional selection step using hyaluronic acid to identify sperm that are more mature and genetically stable. This makes it a valuable option for couples who want to increase the likelihood of healthy embryo formation during IVF treatment in Thailand.
