Artificial Insemination is one of the techniques used by Reproductive Medicine when there is a fertility problem that involves the placement of a sample of semen, previously prepared in the laboratory, inside the woman’s uterus in order to increase the potential of the sperm and the possibilities of fertilization of the ovule.
In this way, the distance separating the sperm from the ovule is shortened and we facilitate the meeting between both, increasing the chances of achieving the desired pregnancy. Unlike in vitro fertilization, it is not necessary to previously extract the woman’s ovules. After the initial diagnosis, ovarian stimulation is programmed and the endometrial control is carried out to determine the ideal moment to perform the Artificial Insemination.
There are profiles of patients that by age, gynecological conditions or some anomaly in the sperm of the couple, Artificial Insemination can not be made and then they must resort to an in vitro Fertilization.
