For infertile couples, sometimes a little bit of assisted reproductive technology can help them get pregnant smoothly.
Artificial insemination is the simplest and most feasible method of assisted pregnancy, and is suitable for patients with oligozoospermia and abnormal cervical mucus. Artificial insemination can be traced back to the 1890s and is the oldest method used to solve infertility.
Artificial insemination is divided into: artificial insemination with husband (spouse) sperm and artificial insemination with sperm donor. This method uses a plastic tube to directly inject semen into the woman\’s cervical canal or uterine cavity, avoiding the vagina. Depending on the cause of infertility, the overall success rate of artificial insemination is the same as for couples who conceive naturally.
After artificial insemination, a plastic cap is often placed on the woman\’s cervix, and sometimes sperm is injected through its opening, so that the sperm can stay around the cervix for several hours, allowing the sperm to penetrate the cervical mucus and enter the uterus. .
Because artificial insemination avoids cervical mucus, it is suitable for patients with local anti-sperm antibodies on the cervix. However, it increases the risk of infection and uterine contraction pain in the fertilized patient, so it is not recommended for routine use.
Couples who choose artificial insemination still need to record their basal body temperature, or use ovulation test strips to measure the luteinizing hormone value in urine, so that artificial insemination can be performed in the middle of menstruation, that is, before ovulation. Ultrasounds and blood tests are also commonly used to predict ovulation, but are expensive. For those with no ovulation or irregular ovulation, ovulation induction drugs can be used during artificial insemination.
Artificial insemination is a technology that uses the method of artificial injection to deliver the husband’s or sperm donor’s sperm into the female reproductive tract to achieve the purpose of pregnancy. This is a remedy for couples suffering from male infertility to have children.
Artificial insemination has been documented as early as the end of the 19th century. Since male infertility and bisexual infertility account for a large proportion of infertility, artificial insemination has now become an important treatment method. However, because artificial insemination, especially artificial insemination by donors, involves legal, moral, ethical and other social issues as well as a series of issues such as the occurrence of genetic diseases and infectious diseases, it must be strictly controlled and must not be abused.
There are two main types of artificial insemination: One is insemination with the husband’s semen; the other is artificial insemination with semen from a sperm donor or frozen storage. For infertility due to male factors, female cervix, immunity or unexplained infertility, the semen can be washed before intrauterine artificial insemination or intraperitoneal artificial insemination, or direct intrafollicular insemination.
