IUI /
Intrauterine Insemination- IVF Thailand |
 |
|
|
Intrauterine insemination by husband or donor sperm
is a procedure by which specially prepared sperm is
placed directly in the uterus ( womb ) near
ovulation time. This process usually involves
ovulation induction which the process of follicle
development is monitored by blood hormone and
ultrasound scanning. When ovulation has occurred ,
the male partner is asked to produce a semen sample
by masturbation. This specimen is prepared in our
sperm laboratory to select only active motile sperm.
The prepared sperm is placed right into the uterine
cavity by mean of a fine catheter.
Artificial insemination with the use of donor sperm
may be indicated when the husband is azoospermic (
no sperm in ejeculated semen ). Donor semen is
obtained from our sperm banking. All donors are very
carefully screened taking into account their
familial and medical history. Syphilis , Hepatitis
and HIV testing are carried out in every donor
specimen.
IUI with husband or donor sperm is used to treat
patients with at least one healthy fallopian tube.
Because the cost per pregnancy is significantly less
with IUI than with assisted reproductive
technologies , many experts recommend patient trying
at least 3 IUI cycles before moving to the more
advances and expensive ART. |
