Abstract

Background: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one the most common methods in infertility treatment, but its efficiency in infertile couples with male factor is controversial. This study is a retrospective study about correlation between semen parameters and male and female age with successful rate of IUI in patients attending to Royan Institute.
Methods: A total of 998 consecutive couples in a period of 6 months undergoing IUI were included. They were classified into two groups: couples with successful and unsuccessful pregnancy. Main outcome was clinical pregnancy. Data about male and female ages and semen analysis including concentration, total sperm motility, class A motility, class B motility, class A+B motility and normal morphology was extracted from patients’ records. Semen samples were collected by masturbation or coitus after 2 to 7 days of abstinence. Their female partners were reported to have no chronic medi-cal conditions and have normal menstrual cycles.
Results: One hundred and fifty seven of total 998 cycles (15.7%) achieved pregnancy. The average of female age in successful and unsuccessful group was 28.95±4.19 and 30.00±4.56 years, respectively. Mean of male age was 33.97±4.85 years in successful group and 34.44±4.62 years in unsuccessful group. In successful and unsuccessful groups, average of sperm concentration was 53.62±38.45 and 46.26±26.59 (million sperm/ml), normal morphology of sperm was 8.98±4.31 (%) and 8.68±4.81 (%), sperm total motility was 47.24±18.92 (%) and 43.70±20.22 (%) and total motile sperm count was 80.10±63.61 million and 78.57±68.22 million, respectively.
Conclusion: There was no significant difference in mean of females’ age and males’ age between successful and unsuccessful groups (P<0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in semen parameters including concentration, total sperm motility, class A motility, class B motility, class A+B motility and normal morphology between two groups. It was shown that common semen analysis and male and female ages cannot predict IUI outcome.
