Publisher's Synopsis
Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a fertility treatment that uses a catheter to place washed sperm directly into the uterus. Its aim is to increase the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chances of fertilisation (American Pregnancy Association). This book is a comprehensive guide to the planning and process of intrauterine insemination. Eleven sections cover basics, investigations, ultrasonography, ovulation induction protocols, ovulation trigger, techniques, luteal phase support, analysis of results, and IUI in special situations such as subfertility, endometriosis, HIV, and unexplained infertility. This second edition has been fully revised to provide the latest advances in technologies and techniques. A complete section is dedicated to recent updates in the field, covering artificial intelligence and IUI, and IUI guidelines. The book concludes with Frequently Asked Questions to assist learning and understanding. The previous edition (9788184489194) published in 2010.
