Intrauterine Insemination is the placement of a man’s sperm into a woman’s uterus using a long, narrow tube.
Is most effective for treating:
- women who have scarring or defects of the cervix
- men who have low sperm counts
- men who have sperm with low mobility
- men who cannot get erections
- men who have retrograde ejaculation ( sperm are ejaculated into the bladder instead of out of the penis )
Intrauterine Insemination can be used in combination with medication that stimulate ovulation, increasing the chance of pregnancy.
