Can you do IUI with oligoasthenoteratospermia?

Artificial insemination is a simple, minimally invasive technique in which the egg and sperm must meet on their own in the woman’s fallopian tubes. For this reason, it is not the appropriate assisted reproductive technology when semen quality is compromised, as in the case of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia.

In general, for artificial insemination to have a reasonable chance of success, the motile sperm count (MSC) after semen sample preparation must be greater than 5 million.
