Artificial insemination

Artificial insemination helps many couples achieve the desired pregnancy in cases where natural conception is unlikely or impossible for various reasons.

Artificial insemination is a simple, effective, and accessible technology that involves introducing prepared sperm into the uterine cavity on the most favorable days for conception. The procedure does not require complex surgical intervention and is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing a woman to maintain her usual lifestyle.

At the Oxford Medical medical center, you can receive comprehensive assistance, starting with an individual consultation and ending with full support at all stages of infertility treatment. Our specialists have extensive experience in the field of reproductive medicine and work using modern equipment, which ensures high efficiency and safety of the procedure.

In addition, intrauterine insemination is used in the presence of medical indications for the use of donor sperm – for example, in the absence of spermatozoa in the partner or in the presence of hereditary genetic diseases.

The procedure is a valuable alternative to more complex reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) in situations where this is medically justified.

Preparation for artificial insemination is a responsible stage that allows you to maximize the chances of success of the procedure and ensure the safety of the patient. It includes:

• Complete gynecological examination for the woman, including ultrasound diagnostics of the pelvic organs, hormonal studies, tests for sexually transmitted infections;

• Determination of tubal patency (hysterosalpingography or other methods), since obstruction of the tubes can make insemination ineffective;

• Assessment of the ovarian ovulatory function and selection of the optimal days for the procedure;

• Preparation of the partner – semen analysis (spermogram), and if necessary, additional examinations.

In case of using donor material, a thorough selection of the donor is also carried out in accordance with medical and genetic criteria.
Before the procedure itself, it is important to follow the doctor’s recommendations – avoid sexual intercourse for 2–5 days, follow a healthy lifestyle, refrain from alcohol and smoking.

When choosing a method of infertility treatment, it is important to know the strengths and weaknesses of each technology.
Insemination has the following advantages:

• Simplicity and minimal invasiveness. The procedure does not require surgical intervention and is not accompanied by a long recovery period;

• Fast performance: does not require hospitalization and allows you to return to your usual lifestyle almost immediately;

• The cost of insemination is lower than in vitro fertilization (IVF);

• The possibility of using both the partner’s sperm and donor material.

However, there are also certain limitations:

• The method is ineffective in severe tubal obstruction, severe forms of male infertility;

• Does not guarantee 100% pregnancy from the first attempt; sometimes repeated insemination or the use of other technologies is required;

• There is a risk of multiple pregnancy if ovulation is stimulated.

All this emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis, an individual approach, and contacting specialists with a high level of qualification.

Indications for insemination are determined by a reproductive specialist based on a complete medical examination. The main indications:

• Minor or moderate changes in the man’s spermogram;

• Absence of pregnancy for more than 12 months of regular sexual activity;

• Cervical factor (pathologies of cervical mucus);

• Immunological factor of infertility;

• Anovulatory cycles in women, provided adequate correction of ovulation;

• Use of donor sperm for medical or personal reasons.

Contraindications to insemination are:

• Severe organic lesions of the uterus or ovaries (large fibroids, severe endometriosis, tumors);

• Absence of tubal patency;

• Acute inflammatory or infectious diseases of the pelvic organs;

• Hormonal disorders not amenable to correction;

• Some systemic diseases that pose a threat to the health of the mother or child.

The doctor at the medical center selects the optimal method of infertility treatment, taking into account all the individual characteristics of the patient.

The effectiveness of insemination depends on many factors. On average, the success rate is 10–20% per attempt, but with repeated procedures, the chances increase. Important factors are:

• Age of the woman (effectiveness is higher up to 35 years, somewhat reduced after 40);

• Causes of infertility and its duration;

• State of health of the reproductive system, hormone levels;

• Quality and preparation of the partner’s or donor’s sperm;

• Correct timing of the procedure (monitoring ovulation).

Experienced specialists at Oxford Medical take all details into account and help patients achieve the desired result even in difficult cases.

The price of artificial insemination at the Oxford Medical clinic depends on several factors – the chosen treatment scheme, the use of partner or donor sperm, the need for medical support, additional examinations.
