The Effect of Processed Total Motile Sperm Counts and Twenty Four Hour Sperm Survival on the Efficacy of Intrauterine Insemination in Male Infertility

The Influence of Sperm Morphology, Total Motile Sperm Count of Semen and the Number of Motile Sperm Inseminated in Sperm Samples on the Success of Intrauterine Insemination

Relationship of Total Motile Sperm Count and Percentage Motile Sperm to Successful Pregnancy Rates Following Intrauterine Insemination1

Purpose: This study sought (i) to investigate the relationship between Postwash total motile sperm count and Postwash percentage motile sperm in predicting successful intrauterine insemination and (ii) to determine the minimal Postwash total motile sperm count required to achieve pregnancy with intrauterine insemination. Methods: Five hundred four women, who underwent 1636 intrauterine insemina...

Office-based sperm concentration: A simplified method for intrauterine insemination therapy.

BACKGROUND Intrauterine insemination (IUI) could become preferred to more invasive and expensive techniques of assisted reproduction therapy (ART) and should be offered as the first choice in cases with no female factors and mild male factor subfertility. However, developing countries and especially their rural areas often lack the necessary equipment and laboratory facilities. OBJECTIVE To d...

Reduction of steps in the preparation of motile sperm for intrauterine insemination does not reduce efficacy of the procedure: simplified one-step swim-up method versus classic swim-up.

BACKGROUND Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a valid treatment for infertility with a cumulative pregnancy rate of >40-90% after 3-10 treatment cycles. We studied the efficacy of a simplified method for motile sperm preparation for IUI. METHODS A prospective clinical trial was performed with 100 couples (male age 33-48 and female 28-37 years) with a 2-8 year history of primary infertility as...

Pregnancy outcome after IUI for male and idiopathic infertility using a new simplified method for sperm preparation

sting by E Abstract Introduction: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a valid treatment for infertility with a cumulative pregnancy rate of 40–90% after 3–10 treatment cycles. Design: We prospectively studied the efficacy of a new simplified method for motile sperm preparation for IUI for both male causes of infertility, and for those diagnosed with idiopathic infertility. Methods: A prospective...
