What is intrauterine insemination?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)is a sparing and relatively simple method of assisted reproduction, in which the pretreated, ceived and ativipane cepmatozoids are injected directly into the uterine cavity of the woman during ovulation. The goal is to facilitate the meeting between sperm and egg, increasing the chances of fertilization naturally.
When is it recommended?
The procedure is appropriate in cases such as:
- slight deviations in semen analysis (decreased motility, concentration or morphology of spermatozoa);
- unexplained infertility;
- cervical infertility factor (obstruction of the cervical mucus);
- allergy to seminal plasma;
- the need to use donor sperm;
- sexual difficulties in partners (erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, etc.).
Intrauterine insemination is also suitable for couples who wish to start with a more non-invasive method before moving on to more complex techniques such as in vitro fertilization.
How is the procedure going?
- Stimulation of ovulation (if necessary):In some cases, medications are used for mild hormonal stimulation in order to create more follicles, which are called eggs;
- Tracking:Through the use of optical mirrors and/or special tests for the protected areas of the population, the results of the cold appearance and the growth of the foil are established. the most appropriate time to carry out the procedure.
- Sperm preparation:Obtained by the primary care provider (by the partner or donor), such as the laboratory test carried out with the help of the patient's methods, in the case of the patient, in the case of the patient. csepmatozoiditis. The aim is to provide an isolipate with a high potential for mobile cepmatozoids with a molecular morphology;
- Insemination:Induced obstructive cepmatozoids in the patient's uterus, such as the injectable caveat the moment of ovulation. The prepared sample is introduced into the uterus before the uterus is tender, then it is pregnant. The procedure is fast, painless and does not require anesthesia.
- After the procedure:In the absence of keys, the insemination of the hypothetical peptides for the development of the corpus luteum. The woman can return to her normal activities the same day. A blood test for pregnancy is recommended about 14 days after insemination.
What are the chances of success?
The success rate of IUI depends on the woman's age, sperm quality, as well as the cause of infertility. On average, the chance of pregnancy in one IUI cycle is around 10— 20%, and the procedure can be repeated in successive cycles. It is usually recommended up to 3-4 attempts before moving on to IVF.
Advantages of intrauterine insemination
- Non-invasive and sparing method;
- Painless procedure;
- Lower cost compared to other assisted reproductive technologies;
- Suitable for young couples and the initial stages of treatment.
When is IUI not appropriate?
Insemination is not an effective method in:
- clogged or severely damaged fallopian tubes;
- advanced age and/or low ovarian reserve;
- severe disorders in the spermogram;
- pronounced endometriosis.
In these cases, other methods of assisted reproduction are recommended.
