IUI can help overcome issues with sperm number, motility, or mild morphological defects, but is not suitable for severe male factor infertility, for which IVF or ICSI is recommended.

“The problem that you're able to overcome on the sperm side would be number and motility. Yeah. or or morphology like any abnormality in the semen analysis as long as it's not very chromosomeal severe though I mean obviously you can't overcome right right so so if the sperm are too few they don't move well enough if they're defective in most ways IVF IVF yeah more specifically Ixie where we actually which stands for intracytoplasmic sperm injection where we actually take a sperm and inject it directly into an egg so or severe male factor, that would be the recommended treatment. But if you know the sperm's a little bit low, but it's not too bad, then IUI, we would try a few cycles of that first.”
