In case of a couple where the male is having a very low sperm count, which technique will be suitable for fertilisation?

1. Gamete intracytoplasmic fallopian transfer
2. Artificial Insemination
3. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection
4. Intrauterine transfer

Correct answer: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection

Solution

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is designed for severe male-factor infertility because a single sperm is injected directly into the egg. This bypasses the problem of low sperm count and improves the chance of fertilisation.
