Patient's question:
The man's sperm abnormal rate is 98%, and everything else is normal. The woman's check results are normal, with ovulation and patent fallopian tubes. Can artificial insemination be performed?Doctor's answer:
Artificial insemination generally requires prior monitoring of basal body temperature for more than three cycles or combined continuous cervical mucus and vaginal cytology tests to determine the ovulation period. If necessary, ultrasound can be used to assess ovulation. The most suitable time for artificial insemination is the pre-ovulatory phase with the highest secretion of cervical mucus. Typically, three artificial insemination procedures are performed during each menstrual cycle, starting three days before ovulation and conducted every other day. On an hourly basis, this would mean one insemination at 72 hours before ovulation, another at 24 hours before ovulation, and a final one at 24 hours after ovulation. If pregnancy is not achieved within one menstrual cycle, several consecutive cycles can be performed. When necessary, medication can be used to induce ovulation and adjust the timing to improve the chances of conception.
