Artificial insemination refers to an assisted reproductive technology that transports sperm to female reproductive tract in a non-sexual way to make women pregnant. According to the source of sperm, it can be divided into husband sperm artificial insemination and donor sperm artificial insemination from a third party.
Artificial insemination is mainly used for male infertility caused by oligospermia, asthenospermia, abnormal liquefaction, sexual dysfunction and genital malformation. Female infertility caused by abnormal secretion of cervical mucus, genital malformation and psychological factors; Immune infertility or unexplained infertility.
Experts pointed out: In fact, most of the above diseases can be conceived naturally after proper treatment.
Artificial insemination cannot choose the sex of the fetus.
Some couples who are going to have a second child, especially those who want to have a boy, have heard that artificial insemination can choose the sex of the fetus. In fact, even IVF is not allowed to choose men and women in China (except for the third generation genetic diagnosis of IVF).
Artificial insemination will increase the risk of fetal malformation.
German hygienist hilker Bertelsmann said that artificial insemination increased the risk of fetal malformation. Experts in Le Jia warned that infertile patients need to choose treatment methods carefully, and artificial insemination also has certain risks.
Artificial insemination costs a lot.
Economic cost: the general examination fee is about 4000 yuan, and the operation fee is about 2000 yuan each time.
Time cost: For women with normal ovulation, two couples need to go to the hospital for examination three times or more each menstrual cycle, which often takes 3-5 cycles.
Mental cost: The failure of artificial insemination for many times has dealt a great mental blow to infertile couples.
Artificial insemination is easy to induce infection and threaten women's health.
Limited by medical conditions, it is impossible to achieve "absolute sterility" in the process of artificial insemination, and infertile patients have no absolute initiative in the choice of artificial insemination hospitals and personnel. Some artificial insemination personnel are rude, tough and incorrect, which can easily damage the sexual organs of infertile patients, thus inducing infection. In many cases, every artificial insemination will increase the chance of infection.
Le Jia expert: Don't choose artificial insemination easily.
With the rapid development of modern medical technology, some diseases that can only be conceived by artificial insemination in the past have better solutions, such as oligospermia, asthenospermia and non-liquefaction of semen. Through the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, the natural conception ability can be restored in a short time. Therefore, couples who are not pregnant for the time being must not "rush to see a doctor" and choose easily without a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of artificial insemination.
