Abstract:
Introduction: Intrauterine insemination is a basic method of assisted reproduction. It enables direct deposition of sperm inside the uterine cavity. The complications are rare. Multiple pregnancy or ovarian hyperstimulation can occur when concomitant ovulation induction is performed. The risk of pelvic inflammatory disease due to the artificial cervical barrier breach is very low, but the possible consequences are serious. Case presentation: We present a case of recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease following consecutive intrauterine inseminations. Pelvic inflammatory disease pathophysiology and treatment approaches are discussed. Conclusion: Inflammatory complications of the IUI are rare, but the possible impact on fertility can be devastating. Prevention of the PID together with prompt diagnosis and individualized therapy should be assured to preserve fertility.
