Artificial insemination

The possible complications of treatment

Though unlikely, several complications may follow artificial insemination treatment.

Failure of treatment, is the most common complication. However, the complication that causes the couple most concern is the possibility of using the wrong semen sample. 

Other possible complications of artificial insemination treatment are infection, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and multiple pregnancy. Many infertile couples views multiple pregnancy as desirable and are not aware of the risks involved to the mother and her babies.

The risk factors for high-order multiple pregnancy and multiple birth after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination include women aged less than 32 years, development of more than 3 mature follicles and first treatment cycle (Dickey et al, 2005. Fertility and Sterility).
