Artificial insemination homologous and its role in the management of infertility.
Fifty-seven cases of homologous artificial insemination (AIH) were reviewed as well as the reason for performing the insemination. Three patients had AIH because of impotence, and two conceived. Twenty-nine patients whose husbands had sperm counts of less than 40 million/ml had AIH combined with split ejaculates, and seven (24.1%) became pregnant. Twenty-five patients had AIH because of persistent, unexplained, poor postcoital tests despite a normal semen picture, and eight (32%) became pregnant.
