What is the process of artificial insemination?

Nowadays, people are under great pressure in life and work, and the food they eat and the air they breathe are very polluted. This situation will cause some female friends to have abnormalities in their bodies, and even other factors may cause infertility. However, artificial insemination is now achieved through more scientific technology. Artificial insemination is the most effective way to treat infertility clinically. Learn more about the artificial insemination process.

Male infertility and infertility due to both male and female factors account for a considerable proportion of infertility. Therefore, artificial insemination has become an important treatment method. However, since artificial insemination, especially artificial insemination by sperm donor, involves a series of social issues such as law, morality, ethics, and the occurrence of genetic diseases and infectious diseases, it must be strictly controlled and not abused.

1. Assisted artificial insemination is the process of removing sperm or eggs from the body, processing or culturing them into embryos, and then implanting them into the human body. The treatment that everyone is most familiar with is "test tube baby". In fact, the simplest sperm washing combined with intrauterine artificial insemination is also a type of artificial insemination.

2. For mild infertility diseases, such as mild poor sperm motility, autoimmune diseases of anti-sperm antibodies in the couple's body, and cervical diseases, artificial insemination treatment has a 50% pregnancy rate each time. Even patients with severe oligospermia or azoospermia still have the opportunity to have children through sperm microinjection.

3. Artificial insemination is mainly used for infertility caused by male factors, such as severe hypospadias, retrograde ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, azoospermia, oligospermia, asthenospermia, and semen liquefaction disorder. Artificial insemination can also be used for some female-related infertility, such as vaginismus, small cervix, abnormal cervical mucus, poor post-coital test, etc. In addition, there are some special cases, such as infertility due to immunological reasons, where both husband and wife are heterozygous for the same autosomal recessive genetic disease or the male has an autosomal dominant genetic disease, and artificial insemination can also be used.

4. The female body should also be examined before undergoing artificial insemination. If the female suffers from systemic or infectious diseases, such as severe reproductive organ dysplasia or cervical disease, artificial insemination cannot be performed.

5. After undergoing artificial insemination, the patient should avoid letting semen leak out. Normally, artificial insemination only takes 3 minutes to complete, but the patient cannot get up and walk around immediately. Instead, he or she must close his or her legs tightly and raise them slightly to prevent the semen from leaking out.
