Abstract:
In Denmark, intrauterine insemination (IUI) with or without ovarian stimulation is a common treatment for infertility. If strict cancellation criteria are met to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies in ovarian stimulation cycles, IUI can be considered safe, less invasive and less costly compared to in vitro fertilisation. In 2019, a total of 9,322 homologous IUIs and 8,433 IUIs using donor sperm were performed in Denmark, and 2,000 children were expected to be born after the use of IUI. Thus, in this review we conclude that IUI is an effective treatment for infertility in selected patients.
