Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)

Context:

  • Intrauterine insemination (IUI) has evolved significantly, incorporating advancements from in vitro fertilization (IVF) such as improved sperm preparation and ovarian stimulation techniques.
  • Initially a primary treatment for male factor, cervical factor, and unexplained infertility, IUI is now also considered for conditions including endometriosis, ovarian dysfunction, and tubal factor infertility.

Purpose:

  • To review the prerequisite evaluations necessary for successful intrauterine insemination.
  • To analyze the efficiency of IUI by examining various predictive factors influencing pregnancy rates.

Summary:

  • Approximately 44,000-45,000 IUI cycles are performed annually in France.
  • Pregnancy rates per IUI cycle range from 10% to 20%.
  • IUI is currently the leading first-line ART therapy for infertility.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of IUI prerequisites and success factors for clinicians and patients.
  • Highlights the evolving role and established efficacy of IUI as a first-line ART treatment.
