AI (artificial insemination) involves injection of semen directly into the vagina or uterus. It can successfully aid conception in couples in which the male partner is unable to inseminate or has very low sperm count.

In this, the semen is collected and then artificially introduced either into the vagina or into the uterus of the female which aids in conception. This technique is called IUI (intra-uterine insemination).
