For couples who are infertile due to sperm-free illness, infertility treatment using sperm provided by a third party is performed.
Regarding this treatment, the method of injecting into the uterus approved by the academic society has a low pregnancy rate, and a clinic in Tokyo has revealed a plan to artificially inject it into an egg and fertilize it.
The plan was revealed at the Hara Medical Clinic in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, where sperm provided by a third party is artificially injected into an egg for couples who are infertile due to sperm-free illness. It is said that treatment will be started from the 17th by a method called "microinsemination".
The Japanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology allows such treatment to be performed at a registered facility of the Society by injecting sperm into the uterus of a woman by a method called "artificial insemination", but the rate of pregnancy is as low as about 5%. At the clinic, the rate of getting pregnant is relatively high, 20% to 30%, and it is done by "microinsemination".
In addition to recruiting donors at the clinic, sperm will be secured in cooperation with private sperm banks in Japan and overseas, and in consideration of the "right to know the origin" of the born child, the child will be 18 years old or older. We manage information so that we can keep in touch with the provider when it becomes available.
Kaoru Miyazaki, the director of the clinic, said, "With artificial insemination, there are many patients who do not get pregnant even if they are repeated dozens of times and receive treatment overseas. I'm talking to you.
