[Intrauterine insemination as a method of treating male infertility]

One of the method of treatment of the infertile couple due to the male factor is the Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI). The references on the subject are divergent. This is caused by the lack of the similar, comparable classification in patients selection for the treatment, procedure of semen preparation and the results estimation. The different efficiency of this treatment method and it's direct and indirect costs are emphasized. In our studies IUI was applied in 42 women from the couples infertile due to the male factor. There were 3 pregnancies obtained (7.0%) which gives the result of 4.3% of pregnancies respectively per treated cycle. Each stage of the procedure was analysed, beginning from the criteria of patients selection, the way of the semen preparation as well as the time of treatment in respect to the obtained results--the percentage of the patients who became pregnant.
