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.
Once the sperm sample has been acquired, it will be washed to remove any elements of the sperm that could interfere with the fertilization. After a semen sample has been prepared, it is ready for artificial insemination. During IUI (intrauterine insemination) the sperm is put directly into the uterus by use of a fine catheter. The vagina walls are kept open using an instrument known as a speculum, the catheter then enters the uterus through the cervix and the sperm is pushed through the catheter.
