Artificial insemination is performed by pushing a syringe containing washed sperm into the vagina, cervical canal or uterine cavity with a plastic tube attached.
Artificial insemination is performed by collecting fresh semen from the male partner by masturbation before the female partner’s ovulation is detected, screening the sperm by centrifugation, and then selecting forward-moving sperms of about 0.2 ml to 0.3 ml to be loaded into the syringe.
A plastic tube is attached to the front of the syringe, and the woman adopts a supine truncal position, exposes the cervical opening with a speculum, places the plastic tube into the cervical opening into the uterine cavity, and pushes the syringe to inject semen into the vagina, cervical canal, or uterine cavity.
As the prostaglandins in the semen can cause spasmodic contractions in the uterine cavity leading to abdominal pain, the woman lies down for twenty minutes after the injection before getting up and leaving.
