Intrauterine Insemination(IUI)

During an IUI, sperm is placed inside the uterus without passing through the cervix. This procedure follows similar steps to ICI but is typically carried out in a doctor’s office and uses specially prepared sperm. 

• Semen is washed or prepared to remove potential proteins that might interfere with fertilisation. The sperm become more concentrated as a result. In theory, this will raise a woman’s chances of getting pregnant. 
• A doctor will use a specialised tool called a speculum to make the uterus easier to access. The sperm will be inserted into the uterus using a thin instrument inserted through the vagina.

Collection of the Sperm Sample

It’s essential to collect the sperm sample; the male partner shouldn’t engage in sexual activity for two to five days before collection. This ensures the production of healthy, mobile sperm cells and helps to collect the most sperm cells possible.

In a private room at the clinic, the sample is taken in a sterile container with a wide mouth. Following a 30-minute liquefaction period, the processing is started. Ideally, the entire procedure is completed ninety minutes after collection.

Washing the sperm samples 

Before sperm samples are used in IUI, they are cleaned. Sperm washing entails removing extra fluid and bacteria, trash, weak and dead sperm, and prostaglandins that can cause uterine cramps. The most healthy and mobile sperms eventually separate during the process. According to experts at Ziva Fertilityy, this washed sperm can be used in artificial insemination or kept (frozen) for later use.

Washing the sperm is the first step in artificial insemination, such as IUI. The sperm cells and seminal fluid are separated during the process.

This procedure improves the likelihood that the sperm will enter the fallopian tubes for fertilisation by removing toxic wastes from the sperm sample. It can also assist couples unable to conceive due to immune system disorders, male factor infertility, or unexplained infertility.

Sperm Processing Techniques Used for Sperm Washing 

The technique begins by separating sperm cells from the seminal plasma and, if used, a cryoprotectant before artificial insemination procedures like IUI or IVF. This is done before sperm insemination. Ziva Fertilityy specialists frequently use the three methods listed below to wash sperm samples.

Basic sperm wash

The sperm sample is combined with an antibiotic and protein supplement solution and repeatedly centrifuged as part of the basic sperm washing procedure. The seminal fluid and sperm cells are separated using this sperm processing method which takes around 40 minutes.

 Density gradient sperm wash 

This process is one of the most popular semen techniques, called premium sperm washing. This method uses the density gradient centrifugation principle to separate the motile sperm. The procedure can isolate sperm with at least 90% of initial semen quality motility. 

Swim-up technique

This method of sperm processing relies on the strength and motility of the sperm sample that was obtained. The sample is placed in a test tube with a layer of culture medium on top, allowing the motile sperm to only swim upward into the medium. For insemination, these sperm are collected and used for motility.

Pre-care for artificial insemination 

• Keep your body temperature at an average level
• Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking 3 days before the process
• Avoid sexual intercourse and ejaculation before the treatment 
• Do not use lotions, lubricants, and saliva when producing semen 

Post-care for artificial insemination 

• Avoid stress
• Avoid medication that your doctor does not prescribe
• Avoid smoking and drinking 
• Do not exposure to harmful radiation
• Have a healthy lifestyle
