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.
The risk for complications with intrauterine insemination is very low. The woman could develop an infection in the uterus and tubes from bacterial contamination that originated either in the semen sample, or through a contamination of the sterile catheter in the vagina or cervical area during the procedure.
