Summary

Worldwide intrauterine insemination (IUI) is still one of the most applied treatment options for couples with infertility for various reasons. The rationale for performing IUI is to increase the number of motile sperm with normal morphology at the site of fertilization at the right moment. With the use of sperm preparation techniques applied in in vitro fertilization (IVF), side effects such as severe cramping or infections hardly ever occur any more.
