title: [The value of intrauterine insemination in fertility treatment].
abstract: Intrauterine insemination and the use of appropriately processed sperm is an mildly invasive, readily performed means of treating infertility. Particular indications are a poor cervical factor in the female, reduced fertility in the male, and immunological disorders or idiopathic sterility. Under optimal conditions (stimulated menses, case-oriented preparation of sperm) a treatment duration covering 4-5 cycles usually suffices; if success is not achieved within this time, other methods should be tried.
