@entity1 @entity249 @entity16222 @entity281 @entity1062
Thirty-five couples with a variety of @entity249 problems were treated by a sperm-washing and intrauterine-insemination method. The husband's semen was washed with a modified Biggers, Whitten, and Whittingham's medium to obtain a seminal plasma-free, highly concentrated sperm suspension for intrauterine insemination. Couples receiving these inseminations were evaluated by semen analysis, zona-free hamster egg penetration test (EPT), @entity1062 ( @entity1062 ), @entity1062 ( @entity1062 ), and other appropriate @entity249 tests to determine the possible cause of @entity249 . The pregnancy rate as a group was 17%, while the spontaneous rate was found to be only 7%. @entity1 with a poor @entity1062 result had a good success rate (25%) especially if the male's fertilizing ability appeared normal in the EPT (50% success). This treatment did not help @entity1 with poor EPT results or reduced sperm concentration (5% and 0% success). By excluding unsuccessful @entity1 attempting less than three months, the calculated conception rate for this treatment @entity16222 %. No @entity281 or other serious complications were reported. It is concluded that this method is an uncomplicated and effective treatment for certain @entity249 @entity1 . The @entity1 most likely to be assisted by this method can be identified by using the EPT, @entity1062 , and @entity1062 , and these @entity1 should be treated for a minimum of three cycles.
