Andrology laboratory
We are doing detailed semen analysis according to the criteria laid down by W. H. O. Biochemistry, sperm function test are also done.
• Treament Of Male Infertility
• Intrauterine insemination ( IUI )
Intrauterine insemination is also referred as Artificial insemination (AI) frequently used as a first line therapy in the treatment of an infertile couple. Depending on the source of semen there are two types of IUI
1) Semen from Husband AIH, Artificial insemination Husband.
2) Semen from Donor AID Artificial insemination Donor.
The semen sample is processed by washing centrifugation and migration. A suitable culture medium is used. The final migration is done under stringent culture conditions using Co2 incubation. This washed and prepared sperms, free of bacterial contamination and debris is then inseminated via a special catheter directly into the uterine cavity.
IUI can be done as
a) Natural cycle or no stimulated cycle.
b) Controlled stimulation or super ovulation cycle.
Women with ovulatory dysfunction, endometriosis with patent tubes luteal phase defects cervical factor infertility can try I. U. I.
Success rate is on higher side where IUI is combined with super ovulation cycle.
Donor insemination program semen cryopreservation.
Cryopreservation spermatozoa is well established for assisted reproduction techniques for many years. Sperm cryopreservation is now routinely practiced in assisted reproductive technology and andrology, for a range of reasons including quarantine of donor sperms for transmissible diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B, VDRL and Gonorrhoea etc. Long term storage for man who will be absent during their partners ART
In case of inability to produce semen sample in the day of IUI, IVF, or ICSI, We routinely have a backup frozen semen sample. Our cryopreservation facilities are also routinely used to cryopreserve testicular and epididymal sperm, so that repeated attempts at obtaining fresh testicular and eididymal sperm are avoided.
