Infertility Management Series: Intrauterine Insemination

Intrauterine insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a fertility treatment that uses a catheter to place washed sperm directly into the uterus. Its aim is to increase the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tubes and subsequently increase the chances of fertilisation (American Pregnancy Association).

This book is part of the Infertility Management series. Beginning with an overview of Intrauterine Insemination, the following chapters guide readers step by step through the process, from basic science to clinical application. Ethical, psychosocial and medicolegal aspects are also covered.

Written by an internationally recognised author and editor team, this useful manual serves as a quick reference guide and includes photographs, illustrations and tables to enhance learning.
