Insemination Treatment
Create a requestInsemination treatment, often referred to as artificial insemination, is a medical procedure used to treat infertility. It involves directly inserting sperm into a woman's uterus, cervix, or fallopian tubes. This method is designed to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chance of fertilization.
General
The procedure begins with careful monitoring of the woman's ovulatory process, often involving medication to stimulate ovulation. Once an egg is released, sperm that have been previously prepared in a laboratory (either from a partner or a donor) are inserted into the woman's reproductive tract using a thin catheter. This process aims to bypass any potential obstacles that may prevent sperm from naturally reaching the egg. It's a less invasive option compared to other fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and can be an effective first step in treating infertility. This procedure is especially beneficial for couples with unexplained infertility, mild endometriosis, or issues with sperm quality or motility.
