What is artificial insemination?

What is artificial insemination? Many people may not know it well. It is a general term for in vitro fertilization and in vivo fertilization. It is a new technology that helps many infertile patients. Some patients are infertile due to blocked fallopian tubes or low sperm count. This method has a very good effect. Let's take a closer look at what artificial insemination is and the methods of artificial insemination. What is artificial conception Conception refers to the process of sperm and egg combining to form a fertilized egg. After sex, the male ejaculates semen into the female reproductive tract, and a large number of sperm begin to migrate to the egg. After many obstacles, only a very small number of eggs finally reach the fallopian tube. The process of artificial conception is slightly different from this.

Artificial conception in a broad sense includes two technologies: in vitro fertilization and in vivo fertilization. The former is the "test tube baby" technology we often hear about. However, because the IVF technology is relatively complex, more mature, and has its own system, the artificial conception method we usually refer to now is its narrow meaning, that is, in vitro fertilization, and does not include IVF technology.

In vitro fertilization refers to the method of artificially injecting semen into the female's cervix or uterine cavity with the help of external force to help increase the probability of pregnancy. Usually this method is mainly used to treat infertility. · Methods of artificial insemination 1. Methods of preparing semen

In the first 3 to 5 days of sperm collection, the husband should try to avoid having sex with his wife. On the day of sperm collection, the husband should wash his hands and genitals before collecting sperm, and try to avoid touching the inner mouth of the sperm collection cup to ensure that the sperm is intact and clean, and then immediately hand it over to the nurse. The semen will be sent to the laboratory immediately, and after it is liquefied, routine data analysis can be performed.

2. General method of surgery

The operation must be performed strictly under sterile conditions. The doctor extracts the selected semen and then slowly injects it into the recipient's uterine cavity using various methods of intrauterine artificial insemination. The patient is then asked to lie on his back with his legs crossed for 15 to 30 minutes.
