Artificial insemination is actually the process of combining sperm and egg through an artificial method. It is usually chosen in life because of infertility caused by male reasons. Therefore, it can effectively help many couples solve the harm caused by infertility and build a complete family.

Assisted artificial insemination is the process of removing sperm or eggs from the body, processing or culturing them into embryos, and then implanting them into the human body. The treatment that everyone is most familiar with is "test tube baby". In fact, the simplest sperm washing combined with intrauterine artificial insemination is also a type of artificial insemination. For mild infertility diseases, such as mild poor sperm motility, autoimmune diseases of anti-sperm antibodies in the couple's body, and cervical diseases, artificial insemination treatment has a 50% pregnancy rate each time. Even patients with severe oligospermia or azoospermia still have the opportunity to have children through sperm microinjection.

Artificial insemination is mainly used for infertility caused by male factors, such as severe hypospadias, retrograde ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, azoospermia, oligospermia, asthenospermia, and semen liquefaction disorder. Artificial insemination can also be used for some female-related infertility, such as vaginismus, small cervix, abnormal cervical mucus, poor post-coital test, etc. In addition, there are some special cases, such as infertility due to immunological reasons, where both husband and wife are heterozygous for the same autosomal recessive genetic disease or the male has an autosomal dominant genetic disease, and artificial insemination can also be used.
