PICSI is an advanced sperm selection technique used in ICSI to improve fertilisation and embryo quality. SheIVF lists 1 verified PICSI specialists in Gurugram with confirmed credentials and transparent fees.
PICSI (Physiological Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an advanced variation of ICSI in which sperm are selected based on their ability to bind to hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally present in the egg's outer layer. Sperm that bind to hyaluronic acid are more likely to be mature, have lower DNA fragmentation, and achieve better fertilisation outcomes. PICSI is performed at specialist IVF laboratories in Gurugram and is considered particularly beneficial for couples with elevated sperm DNA fragmentation.
PICSI is recommended for couples with high sperm DNA fragmentation, previous ICSI cycles with poor fertilisation rates or poor embryo quality, recurrent IVF failure, or recurrent miscarriage with possible male-factor contribution. It is also considered for men with abnormal sperm morphology. Your specialist in Gurugram will assess whether PICSI is likely to improve outcomes in your specific case.
PICSI is performed as part of an IVF-ICSI cycle. After egg retrieval, prepared sperm are placed on a hyaluronic acid-coated dish. Sperm that bind to the hyaluronic acid are selected by the embryologist for injection into the egg — rather than selecting based on visual appearance alone. This additional selection step takes place in the IVF laboratory and does not require any additional procedures for the patient.
Studies on PICSI show improvements in fertilisation rates and embryo quality compared to standard ICSI in selected patient groups, particularly those with high sperm DNA fragmentation. The evidence for improvement in live birth rates is ongoing. Your specialist in Gurugram will advise on whether PICSI is evidence-supported for your specific diagnosis.
PICSI adds a laboratory cost to a standard IVF-ICSI cycle. The additional cost varies by clinic. Indicative consultation fees for PICSI specialists in Gurugram are listed on SheIVF. Confirm the exact additional cost for PICSI versus standard ICSI before deciding.
When considering PICSI in Gurugram, ask your embryologist or specialist specifically about sperm DNA fragmentation testing — this is the primary indication for PICSI. Confirm that the laboratory performing PICSI has experience with hyaluronic acid binding dishes. Patient reviews and laboratory accreditation are important selection criteria.
PICSI does not add any physical risk for the patient — it is purely a laboratory selection technique. The main consideration is whether the additional laboratory cost is justified by evidence in your specific case. Discuss the evidence and likely benefit with your specialist in Gurugram before opting for PICSI.

In standard ICSI, sperm is selected visually by the embryologist. In PICSI, sperm is additionally selected based on its ability to bind hyaluronic acid — this selects for more mature sperm with lower DNA fragmentation.
PICSI is most beneficial for men with high sperm DNA fragmentation, couples with repeated ICSI failure, poor embryo quality in previous cycles, or recurrent miscarriage with a suspected male factor.
