    Artificial insemination is key in infertility treatment, leading to nearly half of clinic pregnancies. Routine testing for sperm-mucus issues can identify problems like immunological infertility, treatable with intrauterine artificial insemination donor (AIH).

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Infertility Treatment
    • Sperm Analysis

    Background:

    • Artificial insemination techniques are crucial in modern infertility management, contributing significantly to treatment success rates.
    • Sperm-mucus interaction disorders are often overlooked but impact fertility.
    • Increased global demand for artificial insemination donor (AID) services outstrips current provision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of artificial insemination in infertility treatment.
    • To emphasize the need for routine assessment of sperm-mucus invasion and survival.
    • To advocate for the integration of artificial insemination donor (AID) services within comprehensive infertility care.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing post-coital tests with a minimum six-hour delay.

  • Performing mucus penetration tests for patients with negative post-coital test results.
  • Treating identified immunological infertility with intrauterine artificial insemination homologous (AIH).

    • Main Results:

    • Artificial insemination accounts for 43.8% of treatment-related pregnancies in the clinic.
    • Post-coital and mucus penetration tests effectively identify various fertility issues.
    • Intrauterine AIH demonstrates success in treating antisperm immunological infertility.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine assessment of sperm-mucus interaction is vital for diagnosing overlooked infertility causes.
    • Antisperm immunological infertility can be successfully treated with intrauterine AIH.
    • Expanding artificial insemination donor (AID) services, potentially through frozen semen banks, is necessary to meet global demand.
