Abstract

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the procedure of direct placement of processed, highly motile concentrated sperm into the uterus. It overcomes some of the impediments in the path of sperm-transport and increases their probability of reaching the fallopian tubes by 25%. This procedure is highly recommended for those couples where there is dearth of superior quality sperm reaching the upper reproductive tract of the female partner. The use of IUI thus reduces harmful effects of extraneous factors like vaginal acidity and cervical mucous hostility and provides a plethora of concentrated and technically superior sperms as close as possible to the oocytes. Layout, make and location of equipment are very important considerations in the planning of an IUI facility. Semen preparation in general laboratory is not suitable for fear of contamination from other biological specimens. Skilled personnel are required to achieve the best possible results. Proper records need to be maintained as per ICMR guidelines.
