Sponsor's own description

The WHO operation specification requires men to maintain a 2-7-day ejaculation abstinence period before semen examination, but it does not mention the possibility of obtaining a second sample immediately after the first sample for evaluation, and the significance of the evaluation of the second sample for fertility. There is a certain fluctuation level in sperm concentration detection. Patients with normal previous detection may have lower sperm concentration on the day of IUI, resulting in the trouble of canceling IUI. It is not clear whether patients with previous oligospermia can obtain more sperm with better vitality and improve the success rate of IUI by taking sperm again. Some retrospective studies found that when the semen abstinence period of oligozoospermia men was as short as 40 minutes, the changes of sperm motility and sperm concentration were significantly improved, but there was no difference in the conclusions of other studies. A small number of assisted reproduction studies found that IUI with samples obtained during abstinence period of less than 2 days could obtain better pregnancy rate. However, the quality and sample size of these retrospective studies are limited, the repeatability is not good enough, and the conclusions are still controversial. We designed a randomized controlled study. Semen examination was performed after sperm extraction. If the sperm concentration after treatment was less than 10m, the subjects were included in the study. They were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 received IUI for pregnancy assistance directly, and group 2 received IUI for pregnancy assistance 1 hour after the first sperm extraction. The two semen were mixed and treated. 205 subjects were included in the two groups. We tried to explore whether secondary sperm extraction in patients with low IUI concentration can improve the success rate of IUI pregnancy.
