This insemination procedure is simple and takes about
5-10 minutes, usually being painless. It involves insertion of a speculum
into the vagina to visualize the cervix. The cervix is then cleaned with
a little culture medium. The washed sperm is then injected into the cavity
of the womb using a fine plastic catheter. After insemination, the patient
may be asked to rest for a short period of time. Sexual intercourse can
continue as normal during the treatment cycle.
