Artificial Insemination
Artificial insemination is a medical procedure used to treat infertility. It is one of the assisted reproductive techniques recommended by the physician after thorough evaluation of the couple’s condition.
Also known as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), this procedure involves placing laboratory-prepared sperm directly into the woman’s uterus at a carefully timed moment that coincides with ovulation, aiming to increase the chances of fertilization.
Procedure Steps
- Ovarian stimulation using specific medications, if needed, to promote the release of one or more eggs.
- Collection of a semen sample from the husband.
- Preparation of the sample in the laboratory to select the highest quality sperm.
- Insertion of the sperm into the uterus using a fine catheter at the optimal time during ovulation.
When Is Artificial Insemination Recommended?
IUI may be suitable in the following cases:
- Mild to moderate decrease in sperm count or motility.
- Irregular ovulation or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Unexplained infertility, where no specific cause is identified.
- Cervical issues that may prevent sperm from passing through naturally.
- As an initial step before progressing to more advanced techniques like IVF/ICSI.
When Is It Not Recommended?
Artificial insemination is not advised in the following situations:
- Blockage in the fallopian tubes.
- Severe male infertility (very low sperm count or poor quality).
- Advanced maternal age combined with low ovarian reserve, where IVF/ICSI may be more appropriate.
Factors Influencing Success
Success depends not only on the medical condition but also on the experience of the medical team.
Dr. Sherif Sobhy is highly experienced in this field and ensures individualized care through:
- Accurate diagnosis and determining whether IUI is the suitable approach.
- Precise timing of the insemination based on ovulation tracking.
- Proper management of ovarian stimulation to avoid overstimulation.
- Advanced laboratory techniques for sperm preparation.
- Providing psychological support and clear communication with the couple throughout the process.
Additional Information
- It is preferable to consider IUI after 12 to 18 months of unsuccessful attempts to conceive.
- Success rates vary but typically range between 10% and 20% per cycle.
- Up to three attempts may be recommended before switching to more advanced techniques.
- Good nutrition and a stable emotional state can enhance the chances of success.
Difference Between IUI and ICSI
Artificial insemination involves inserting sperm into the uterus, allowing fertilization to happen naturally inside the body.
In contrast, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is performed in the laboratory, where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. ICSI is more suitable for severe male infertility, fallopian tube blockage, or repeated IUI failures.
Childbirth… the grand finale of a long journey of care
After months of anticipation, the moment of childbirth arrives. Whether it’s natural or cesarean, every birth marks the beginning of a new life.
Types of childbirth:
Vaginal Birth (Natural Delivery):
The physiological method where the baby is delivered through the birth canal.
Advantages:
- Faster recovery.
- Lower risk of infection.
- Natural stimulation of the baby’s breathing.
- Immediate bonding between mother and baby.
Cesarean Section (C-Section):
A surgical procedure where the abdomen and uterus are opened to deliver the baby.
Types:
- Scheduled (before labor starts).
- Emergency (due to sudden complications).
Why is a cesarean chosen?
- Abnormal fetal position.
- Umbilical cord wrapped around the neck.
- Narrow pelvis.
- Placental problems.
- Previous cesarean deliveries.
- Twin or multiple pregnancies.
- Preeclampsia or high blood pressure.
- Labor not progressing.
- Maternal preference in certain cases.
Pain relief protocols:
In natural birth:
Without medical intervention: Breathing exercises, emotional support, warm baths.
With medical intervention: Epidural, IV painkillers, laughing gas.
In cesarean birth:
- Regional anesthesia: Most commonly used (epidural or spinal).
- General anesthesia: In emergency cases.
Post-delivery: Painkillers, patient-controlled morphine pumps, encouragement for early movement.
Possible complications:
Natural birth:
- Vaginal or perineal tears.
- Postpartum hemorrhage.
- Uterine or bladder prolapse.
- Infections.
- Temporary pelvic muscle weakness.
Cesarean section:
- Wound or uterine infection.
- Heavy bleeding.
- Internal adhesions.
- Anesthesia complications.
- Future pregnancy risks (uterine rupture, placenta previa or accreta).
- Slower recovery and mobility difficulties.
Conclusion:
Every birth has its own circumstances and uniqueness. What matters most is that the mother is in the hands of a trusted medical team, like Dr. Sherif Sobhy, to ensure a safe and calm experience from the first consultation to the magical first meeting with her baby.

- Elevated prolactin levels
- Obesity or being underweight
Treatment:
- Ovulation induction medications (e.g., Clomid, Letrozole)
- Hormonal regulation

Laparoscopy in Gynecology and Obstetrics
One of the key services at Dr. Sherif Sobhy’s Clinic.
Where he holds extensive experience in this field.
What is Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a modern surgical technique, also known as minimally invasive surgery. It involves the use of a small camera and delicate instruments inserted through tiny incisions in the skin, rather than performing traditional open surgery.
Applications in Gynecology and Obstetrics
Laparoscopy is used to diagnose and treat disorders of the female reproductive system (uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes), offering precise and less invasive solutions.
Types of Laparoscopy:
1. Laparoscopic Surgery
Inserted through a small incision in the navel to visualize the abdomen and pelvis.
Used to treat:
- Ovarian cysts
- Endometriosis
- Pelvic adhesions
- Fibroid removal
- Hysterectomy or oophorectomy
2. Hysteroscopy
Inserted through the cervix with no external incisions.
Used for:
- Polyps or fibroids inside the uterus
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Uterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome)
- Removal of trapped IUDs
- Investigating infertility
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery:
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery and return to daily life
- Reduced blood loss during surgery
- Smaller scars with better cosmetic results
- Higher diagnostic accuracy
- Fertility preservation in many cases
