Intrauterine insemination with washed capacitated sperm cells in the treatment of male factor, cervical factor and unexplained infertility.
One hundred and fourteen couples with long standing infertility due to male factor, cervical factor and unexplained infertility were admitted for therapeutic trials with intrauterine insemination of washed, capacitated husband's sperm cells between May 1986 to October 1987 at The Egyptian IVF-ET Center, Cairo, Egypt. Three hundred and sixty-four trials were done (an average of 3.19 trial per patient). Fifty-eight patients got pregnant (16% pregnancy rate per trial). This simple and noninvasive procedure can be considered as an alternative treatment for infertility due to male factor, cervical factor, and unexplained infertility.
