One of the main reasons why ICSI might be needed is azoospermia, that is, when the man has zero sperm count.
There exist two types of azoospermia:
- Obstructive
- The sperm production function is affected.
- Non-obstructive
- Sperm production occurs with normality, but the sperms cannot flow to the outside world.
Because of this, natural pregnancy is prevented, so males diagnosed with azoospermia must resort to assisted reproductive techniques to seek gestation.
