Sterilitätsbehandlung mit donogener Insemination

Donor inseminations (DI) have been performed for decades. Most of the publications on this topic deal only with problems of tolerance and acceptance of this treatment for sterility. We already reported on them in parts I and II. In the present third and last part, we discuss the indications for DI: male infertility, genetic disorders, and unsuccessful assisted reproduction therapy. Which conditions do affect the success of therapy? Which methods are recommended? Our treatment results verify realistically that in effect DI only produces the desired child in about 50 % of the couples. As a complementary therapy, in vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor spermatozoa offers a real chance for pregnancy even for women whose husbands are infertile and who themselves suffer from impaired fertility such as pathological conditions of the fallopian tube or when simple inseminations have not resulted in pregnancy. After receiving consent from the State Physicians’ Chamber, we treated 19 women by donor IVF in our group practice and fulfilled their desire to bear their own child.
