Human Reproduction vol.5 no.3 pp.263-265, 1990 A comparative evaluation of intracervical and intrauterine routes in donor therapeutic insemination

The relative efficiency of intrauterine insemination with washed spermatozoa versus intracervical deposition of semen was examined in donor insemination for therapeutic reasons. Fecundability in a group of 26 women who desired insemina-tion as a treatment for azoospermia or severe astheno-oligozoospermia in their partner was comparable, despite the 10-fold higher numbers employed using the intracervical route.
