Intrauterine insemination
What is intrauterine insemination?
Intrauterine insemination is one of the ART methods (assisted reproductive technologies), the distinguishing feature of which is a relatively low intrusion into the natural process of conceiving a child. An important factor is also the non-use or relatively little use of medicines.
Indications
Intrauterine insemination can be used for both female and male infertility.
Indications for the use of IUI are the following conditions on the part of a man:
Subfertile sperm;
Ejaculatory-sexual disorders;
Retrograde ejaculation;
Hypospadias;
Hypospermia (small volume of ejaculate);
High viscosity of seminal fluid;
Antisperm antibodies;
Cryopreserved sperm;
Unsuccessful attempts at intracervical insemination;
Condition after chemotherapy or vasectomy.
Intrauterine insemination can also be indicated for female infertility due to the following factors:
Infertility of unknown origin;
Cervical factor of infertility (chronic endocervicitis, manipulation of the cervix in the anamnesis, such as conization, amputation, moxibustion, diathermy, cryotherapy);
Antisperm antibodies;
Ovulatory dysfunction amenable to therapy;
Allergy to seminal fluid;
Vaginismus
Treatment stages
Diagnostics
Before being included in the program, the couple is invited to undergo a thorough examination. For IUI, the patency of at least one fallopian tube must be maintained and there must be at least five million spermatozoa in one milliliter in the partner’s semen.
Sperm collection
On the day of insemination procedure sperm collection takes place.
Sperm preparation
In the laboratory the collected sample is washed, seminal fluid is removed and the most active and mature spermatozoa are selected. Then a concentrated sperm is placed in a special catheter.
Insemination of spermatozoa into the uterus
The concentrated sperm is injected into the uterine cavity through the cervix using a catheter.
