Donor sperm
These are very common situations when sperm quality is too bad for use in the process. In these cases, donor sperm is used in the process of pregnancy. You can find many types of donor sperm in the lab; mostly they are frozen in a special container that can store them safely. In the intrauterine insemination procedure, they are used to make the process smooth.
Semen allergy
This is a very rare condition but it can develop in anyone. Some women face many types of the reaction of allergy with the semen of the partner. And proceeding with those allergic reactions is not safe. Some of the common allergic reactions include redness of the skin, burning and swelling when the semen touches the skin.
Using a condom can prevent these symptoms but also wearing a condom can prevent you from having a child. Intrauterine insemination can be very effective in these cases since before the sperm is inserted, may proteins are removed from the semen.
Cervical infertility
Cervical is situated in the lower back of the uterus. The opening between the uterus and vagina is caused by the cervix. Cervix helps the sperm to travel through the fallopian tube by producing mucus. Having any problem in the mucus can cause many troubles for the sperm to swim through fallopian tubes, such as the thickness of the mucus, low production of the mucus, etc. Intrauterine insemination procedure causes the sperm to directly reach the fallopian tubes.
