Artificial Insemination with Donor Sperm (AID) is a widely-used fertility treatment for couples facing male infertility due to azoospermia. The procedure involves the introduction of donor sperm into the female partner’s reproductive tract during the fertile window, increasing the chances of achieving pregnancy.
Here’s an overview of the AID process at Prabhaker Hospital:
- Thorough Evaluation: Before recommending AID, our expert fertility specialists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of both partners to determine the specific cause of infertility. For men with azoospermia, we may perform hormone tests, genetic analysis, and imaging studies to identify the underlying issue.
- Selecting a Donor: If it is determined that AID is a suitable option, we work closely with our patients to choose a donor from our carefully screened and medically tested sperm bank. Our sperm donors are healthy individuals who have undergone rigorous screening to ensure their suitability for donation.
- Ovulation Monitoring: For the female partner, we monitor her menstrual cycle and ovulation carefully. This helps us identify the most fertile period for the artificial insemination procedure.
- Insemination Procedure: On the day of ovulation, the donor sperm is prepared and introduced into the woman’s uterus through a minimally invasive procedure. This is a simple and painless process, similar to a routine gynecological examination.
- Pregnancy Test and Follow-up: About two weeks after the insemination, a pregnancy test is performed to determine if the procedure was successful. If pregnancy is achieved, regular prenatal care is provided to ensure the well-being of the expectant mother and baby.
