Intrauterine Artificial Insemination

Artificial insemination belongs to the category of first-level assisted reproductive techniques (also called minor) and can be divided into:

• Homologous or intra-couple or AIH (Artificial Insemination Husband) when the sperm used comes from the patient's partner;
• Heterologous, when the sperm used comes from an external donor or a sperm bank.

The CMR performs the technique of INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION – IUI, certainly the most widespread technique, which involves depositing the sperm into the uterine cavity.

Moderate pharmacological stimulation of multiple follicular growth is carried out.

To avoid multiple pregnancies, caused by potential excessive development of follicles, the patient will undergo ultrasound monitoring during the treatment.

At the time of ovulation, a sperm selection procedure will be performed to improve the conditions of the male reproductive material, in other words, the sperm.

Subsequently, the process of insemination will take place, depositing the sperm directly into the uterine cavity via a catheter.

This technique is indicated in infertility due to cervical mucus being impenetrable to sperm and in cases of slight alterations in the semen.
