Do not believe in artificial insemination and Clomid therapy

The success rate of two popular therapies for infertile women is not much different from that of natural conception, British medical experts claim.

In many countries, doctors often advise couples of infertile children to use artificial insemination (sperm inserted directly into the uterus) and an early ovulation stimulant called Clomid to resolve the problem. threads. According to statistics, about one-third of couples worldwide have difficulty conceiving for many reasons.

To understand the effect of these two popular measures, the top five British hospitals and Oxford University participated in a trial of 580 Scottish women who were not pregnant within a minimum of two year even though the pillow is regular. The women were divided into three groups, in which one group chose to conceive naturally, one chose artificial insemination and one used Clomid.

After six months, the team found 101 people pregnant. Among those who conceive naturally, 17% are pregnant. For Clomid and artificial insemination groups, the success rate was 14% and 23% - not so different from the natural conception group.

It is worth noting that about 10-20% of women in the medication group experience side effects such as abdominal pain, swelling of the skin, hot face, nausea and headache. Clomid also increases the risk of double and triple pregnancies, making pregnant women face greater risks than single pregnant women. However, the team still claims Clomid is an effective therapy for women with ovarian problems.
