Indications for Artificial Insemination - Rama Sofat Hospital

B) Artificial Insemination Donor (AID) -

1. Males with azoospermia who cannot afford advanced treatments like ICSI.
2. Males with genetic disorders, where it can be transmitted to the child.
3. It may be used as a backup to the procedure of TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) and ICSI that is done for males with non-obstructive Azoospermia, especially when no sperms are found in the testicular biopsy.
4. In couples were other ART methods have failed repeatedly.

Prerequisites for undergoing an IUI?

Preferably the patient should:

1. Be less than 38 years of age.
2. Have at least one open fallopian tube. This can be diagnosed by either a Laparoscopy or a Hysterosalpingography.
3. Have a minimum sperm count of at least 10 million or a count following washing of semen of atleast 3-5 million motile sperms per ml.

At Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital & Dr. Ruchika Test tube Baby Centre, we treat patients with extremely low sperm counts. In such cases we advocate 3-6 IUI cycles with simultaneous treatment for increasing counts by a male specialist. The success of IUI in patients with very low sperm counts is low. Consequently, those who fail to become pregnant are advised to opt for ICSI or Donor Insemination
