Insemination is one of the first treatment methods used in infertility treatments.

The Latin name for infertility means 'artificial insemination'. With the pills or injections given to the female in the insemination method, the number of one egg that is formed spontaneously every month is increased to two or three, while the sperms of the male are washed and prepared with some special methods.

The motile sperms taken from the male are concentrated in a small volume. The sperms prepared by the cracking needles to be given to the female, by adjusting the cracking time of the eggs, are placed into the uterus with the help of a special plastic cannula, and the most motile ones among the sperms released into the uterus are expected to reach the female egg.

For the insemination process, at least one channel/tube must be open in the female. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain a uterine x-ray before the insemination process.

If the number and motility of the sperms of the male is very low, the benefit to be expected from insemination is very low. Although there is no consensus on this number and motility, the generally accepted view is that the rate of forward-motile sperm should be at least above 1 million per ml after the washing process is applied to the sperms of the male.
