Artificial Insemination

　　Azoospermia, obstructive azoospermia, severe oligospermia, asthenospermia, teratospermia, failure of vas deferens reanastomosis, seminal emission disorders, and severe hereditary diseases unsuitable for childbearing in either the male and/or the family, as well as incompatibility of maternal and fetal blood types that cannot result in a surviving newborn, can all lead to infertility. Among them, except for azoospermia, other cases require artificial insemination techniques.

　　Artificial insemination may be accompanied by complications such as miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy), congenital malformations, and multiple pregnancies. Therefore, as long as medical advice is strictly followed during the insemination procedure and a reasonable diet is maintained, it is basically guaranteed that other problems will not occur.

　　If artificial insemination is successful, the woman will become pregnant, and the following symptoms will appear:

　　1, Menstrual cessation

　　If the menstrual period has always been regular, once it is overdue and exceeds 10 days, it should be considered as a possibility of pregnancy, which is the earliest sign of pregnancy. The longer the overdue time, the greater the possibility of pregnancy.

　　2, Early pregnancy reactions

　　After the menstrual period stops, pregnant women will gradually feel some abnormal phenomena, known as early pregnancy reactions. The earliest reaction is feeling cold, followed by fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, loss of appetite, picky eating, preference for sour food, aversion to greasy smells, morning nausea, and even vomiting. In severe cases, there may be symptoms such as fatigue and weakness, and exhaustion.

　　3, Frequent urination

　　Due to the gradual enlargement of the uterus after pregnancy, it compresses the bladder, causing an increase in the frequency of urination.

　　4, Breast changes

　　Pregnant women may experience breast development, nipple enlargement, darkening of the nipple and areola color, small nodules around the nipple, and even soreness, swelling of the breasts. Occasionally, a small amount of milk may be expressed.

　　When infertility occurs, both partners should consider whether to adopt artificial insemination for pregnancy. To reduce the occurrence of such situations, it is recommended that everyone should pay attention to regular physical examinations, participate in moderate physical exercise, and ensure a healthy body for pregnancy, thus creating a good pregnancy environment for the baby.

　　If infertility occurs, a comprehensive examination of both male and female partners should be carried out first. For males, this includes semen analysis, testicular examination, and sperm duct examination; for females, it includes ovum examination, ovarian examination, and fallopian tube examination. Generally, the cause can be clarified through routine ultrasound, X-ray, and tissue pathology examination. For patients who cannot be cured but can undergo artificial insemination, artificial insemination should be adopted for conception.

　　Artificial insemination is a non-invasive treatment, and there are no major dietary taboos, but there are some things to pay attention to:

　　1, Carrots: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, various vitamins, and other nutrients beneficial to the human body. However, according to the research of some experts, excessive consumption of carrots by women can cause amenorrhea and inhibit the normal ovulatory function of the ovaries. Therefore, women who wish to become pregnant should not eat too many carrots.

　　2, Coffee:Drinking large amounts of caffeine-containing beverages and foods by pregnant women can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and increased heart rate. Caffeine can also enter the fetus's body through the placenta, affecting fetal development. Women who drink more than one cup of coffee a day have only half the chance of getting pregnant as those who do not drink such beverages. Therefore, if women plan to get pregnant, they should drink less coffee.

　　3, Alcohol: The main component of alcohol is ethanol, which can increase the concentration of catecholamines in the body, cause vasoconstriction, incomplete testicular development, and even atrophy of the testicles. The spermatogenic function will undergo structural changes, and there will be insufficient secretion of androgens such as testosterone, leading to a thinning voice, breast enlargement, and other feminizing symptoms. Such individuals are prone to male infertility, and even if they become pregnant, the possibility of birth defects in the next generation is relatively high. For women, it can lead to irregular menstrual periods, amenorrhea, variation in ovum production, lack of libido, or cessation of ovulation.

　　4. Cottonseed oil:Long-term consumption of cottonseed oil can lead to solar dermatitis, with symptoms such as rash after exposure, general weakness or little sweating, skin burning and redness, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, blurred vision, numbness of the limbs, and decreased appetite. More serious effects include damage to the reproductive system. Adult males who take the extract gossypol from cottonseed oil for 40 days, 60-70 milligrams every day, will have all sperm killed in the short term and gradually disappear from the semen; women may lead to amenorrhea or uterine atrophy. Therefore, young people of childbearing age should not consume it for a long time.

　　5. Roasted beef and mutton：Children born to a few women who like to eat roasted lamb and mutton suffer from mental retardation, paralysis, or deformity. After investigation and research, these women and their malformed children are victims of toxoplasmosis infection.

　　In terms of the implementation of artificial insemination, it is generally necessary to pay attention to the following points:

　　1. Indications:The causes of infertility and sterility include azoospermia, obstructive azoospermia, severe oligospermia, asthenospermia, teratospermia, failure of vas deferens reanastomosis, seminal emission disorder, severe hereditary diseases unsuitable for childbearing in males and/or family members, and incompatibility of maternal and fetal blood types, resulting in newborns who cannot survive. Among them, except for azoospermia, other patients who need sperm donation artificial insemination technology must be informed by medical personnel that they can obtain offspring with blood relations through intracytoplasmic sperm injection technology (ICSI).

　　2. Contraindications:The female has an acute infection of the reproductive and urinary system or a sexually transmitted disease; the female has serious hereditary, somatic diseases, or mental disorders; the female is exposed to teratogenic doses of radiation, toxins, drugs, and is in the action period; the female has bad habits such as drug abuse.

　　3. Common Sites for Sperm Donation Artificial Insemination:Including intra-vaginal artificial insemination, intra-cervical artificial insemination, and intra-uterine artificial insemination, generally using intra-cervical artificial insemination.

　　4. Methods and Timing of Sperm Donation Artificial Insemination:It can be performed in the natural cycle or the ovulation induction cycle, and the specific timing is the same as that of artificial insemination with husband's sperm in the uterine cavity.
