A: The presentation of an autoimmune disease (that is, the signs and symptoms) depend upon the location of the autoimmune attack on the body. Autoimmune diseases have been found in virtually every organ system in the body.
Intrauterine insemination (IUI). Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the placing of sperm into a woman's uterus when she is ovulating. This is achieved with a thin flexible tube (catheter) that is passed into the vagina, through the cervix, and into the uterus. IUI can use sperm from the male partner or a donor.
During an intrauterine insemination, the sperm are released into the uterus. The sperm do not remain viable for as long a period of time. Consequently, the sperm must be inseminated close to the time of ovulation. One method to time an IUI is with an ovulation predictor kit.
