Intrauterine insemination (IUI) of washed sperm offers an acceptable pregnancy rate for selected infertility cases, particularly those with subnormal sperm or idiopathic infertility. Further research is needed to compare IUI with other treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Andrology
  • Infertility Treatment

Background:

  • Infertility affects numerous couples, with causes including subnormal sperm, hostile cervical mucus, and idiopathic factors.
  • Established treatments for infertility have varying success rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of intrauterine insemination (IUI) of washed sperm in couples with specific infertility diagnoses.
  • To determine the pregnancy rate per treatment cycle following IUI.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-six couples with infertility underwent IUI with washed sperm over 78 cycles.
  • Patients were categorized by infertility cause: subnormal sperm (n=40), hostile cervical mucus (n=5), and idiopathic (n=11).

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • An overall pregnancy rate of 8.3% per cycle was achieved.
  • Eight pregnancies resulted from 56 cycles in the subnormal sperm group.
  • One pregnancy occurred in 15 cycles for idiopathic infertility; no pregnancies were observed in the cervical mucus hostility group.

Conclusions:

  • Intrauterine insemination is a viable treatment option for selected infertile patients, yielding acceptable pregnancy rates.
  • A randomized prospective study is recommended to compare IUI's effectiveness against alternative infertility treatments.
