Let’s see When is Donor Insemination needed

Article by Fertilityindia

Donor insemination may be indicated if there are significantly abnormal semen characteristics and if the female appears to be fertile after a series of tests. Causes for male infertility may include irreversible azoospermia, a previous vasectomy, previous radiation or chemotherapy treatment, or another irreversible male fertility factor.

Additional conditions that may require DI for pregnancy are when the Husband or wife or both are carriers of a known hereditary or genetic disorder, such as Tay-Sachs disease, Huntington’s disease, hemophilia, or abnormalities involving the chromosomes. DI may also be used if the female is Rh sensitized and the male is Rh positive. Additionally, single women who desire pregnancy may request donor insemination.

The Evaluation

In order to decide whether to undergo donor insemination, couples need to know the causes(s) of infertility and their chances of pregnancy without DI. The physician will take a detailed medical history from both partners. The male will need a complete examination, including a semen analysis.

The female examination requires a pelvic exam and may include tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other diseases. An ovulation detection kit. Basal body temperature (BBT) chart, and in some cases, a cervical mucus examination may be needed to determine the woman’s time of ovulation. In addition, the physician may recommend a hysterosalpingogram, hysteroscopy, or laparoscopy to check for obstruction of the fallopian tubes and to further examine the pelvic organs. An endometrial biopsy may be recommended to determine whether or not adequate hormone production is taking place.

Look at the Insemination Procedure

Inseminations are scheduled to occur close to the time of ovulation. The time of ovulation is often estimated with the use of ovulation detection kits and/or BBT charts. Inseminations are usually performed once or twice each month depending on the regularity of the woman’s menstrual cycle. The procedure is relatively simple and only takes a few minutes to perform. The woman lies on an examining table and the physician inserts a speculum into her vagina to visualize her cervix. For intracervical insemination (ICI), the physician injects the semen sample into the cervical opening through a plastic syringe (Figure 1). A plastic-coated sponge or cap may be placed into the vagina before the speculum is removed. This keeps the sperm near the cervix and can be taken out four to six hours after the insemination.

Another method, intrauterine insemination (1UI), involves inserting specially prepared (“washed”) sperm directly into the uterine cavity. This method may be used for several reasons, including poor sperm/cervical mucus interaction. 1UI allows the sperm to bypass the cervix so that an increased number can reach the uterine cavity and subsequently the fallopian tubes, where fertilization usually occurs. If the woman has irregular ovulation. the physician may prescribe drugs to induce ovulation. 1UI may be performed in conjunction with these medications to increase the chances of successful fertilization.

There are lot of lot of things to come in this parameters like Sperm Washing 1UI is used, it is necessary to separate the sperm from the seminal plasma. This removes prostaglandins and other substances that could cause adverse reactions or severe uterine contractions. In order to separate the sperm, a laboratory technician will perform a sperm washing procedure. This involves diluting the semen with a sterile fluid and then separating the sperm from the liquid component. The sperm are then returned to a small amount of sterile fluid which is used for the insemination.

These are the some related information I am trying to share with you people.
