Intra uterine insemination

Use of Intra - Uterine Insemination of Pigs : Pros , Cons & Economics

Reproductive performance is a major concern for pork producers because the financial stability of a pork enterprise that produces piglets is substantially influenced by fecundity index (FI) for number of piglets born alive (FI = farrowing rate x litter size born alive). It is well known that farrowing rate and litter size are affected by numerous factors. A new reproductive technique that pork ...

Cervical insemination versus intra-uterine insemination of donor sperm for subfertility.

BACKGROUND Insemination with donor sperm is an option for couples for whom in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has been unsuccessful, couples with azoospermia and for single women or same sex couples. Insemination of sperm can be done via cervical (CI) or intra-uterine (IUI) routes. IUI has been considered potentially more effective than CI as the sperm bypa...

P-24: Beta Defensin 126 and Its Role in Intra-Uterine Insemination Outcome

Background: Human β-defensin 126 is a small cationic glycoprotein that coats the plasma membrane of sperm during epididymal transit. It provides protection for sperms from infection-causing microbes and against the female immune system. Defensin remains on the sperm until sperm become capacitated in the female reproductive tract. DEFB126 gene is located on the subtelomeric end of 20p13 in human...

Effect of an infertility counseling program on perceived stigma among infertile female candidates for intra-uterine insemination

Background & aim: Inability in childbearing is considered a deviation from the norms; therefore, the stigmatized women need to develop some effective strategies to meet this tough challenge. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of infertility counseling programs on perceived stigma among infertile women who were candidates for intrauterine inseminati...
