Question

In case of a couple where a man is having a very low sperm count, which of the following technique will be suitable for fertilization?

• A. Intra uterine transfer
• B. Gamete intra cytoplasmic fallopian transfer
• C. Artificial insemination
• D. Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Artificial insemination

In case of a couple where a man is having a very low sperm count, the sperms cannot travel the female genital tract to get fertilized due to its low count. So artificial insemination technique is used to get sperm fertilized inside the female. In this technique, the sperm is introduced into a female's cervix and the uterine cavity for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy through in vivo fertilization by means other than sexual intercourse.

So, the correct answer is 'Artificial insemination'.
