[Artificial marital (homologous) insemination of women with sterility and retroflexion of uterus (author's transl)].

Successful use of artificial marital (homologous) insemination is described in this paper by examples of eight sterility patients (women aged 31 on average) with mobile retroflexion of uterus and procreative husbands. After an average period of 4.7 years had elapsed with desires for children unaccomplished in spite of special treatment, the above approach led to positive success in al cases. Five women turned pregnant in the first insemination cycle, one in the second, and two in the third. There were five spontaneous births of six intact infants, while two patients still are pregnant. Laparotomy was necessary in one case for ectopic gravidity. The authors are inclined to conclude from their own experience that homologous insemination may be used as one of the therapies applicable to childlessness, if no causative factors are detectable in addition to mobile retorflexion of uterus.
