Artificial Insemination by Husband (A.I.H.) Why is A.I.H. not very popular A.I.H. is inappropriate treatment
for the vast majority of infertile couples. Most men have their own very
adequately functioning "natural syringe" with which to deposit sperm around
the cervix after which the sperm enter the cervical mucus in a matter of
seconds.
For whom is A.I.H. advocated
A.I.H. is sometimes advocated for men with poor motility and low sperm counts in the hope that introducing the sperm directly into the cervical canal or uterus will save them part of their journey to reach the egg. Unfortunately the success rates for A.I.H. make no difference in such cases. A.I.H. is also sometimes considered for couples who have shown the presence of a cervical mucus hostility factor. Here too, the results have been disappointing. A.I.H. imposes quite a strain on
the couple. Various types of applicators are available that allow A.I.H.
to be carried out by the patient at home.
