For male infertility, washed sperm intra-uterine insemination yielded higher conception rates than split ejaculate. No difference was found for cervical infertility patients undergoing intra-uterine insemination.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Infertility Treatment

Background:

  • Intra-uterine insemination (IUI) is a common infertility treatment.
  • Comparing sperm preparation methods in IUI is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare conception rates of washed sperm versus split ejaculate IUI in male and cervical infertility.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different IUI sperm preparation techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized prospective study involving couples with male or cervical infertility.
  • Folliculogenesis and ovulation induced using human menopausal gonadotropin and human chorionic gonadotropin.
  • Intra-uterine insemination performed with either washed sperm or the first portion of a split ejaculate.

Main Results:

  • Significantly higher conception rates in the male infertility group with washed sperm IUI (9 vs. 2, P < 0.05).
  • No significant difference in pregnancy rates between washed sperm and split ejaculate IUI in the cervical infertility group (2 vs. 2).

Conclusions:

  • Washed sperm preparation is more effective for intra-uterine insemination in cases of male infertility.
  • The method of sperm preparation for IUI does not significantly impact pregnancy rates in cervical infertility.
