The Aided Procreation, or Insemination, is the action of procreating, aided from an external
participation to carry out it with full effectiveness. This medical discipline has the main purpose
to avoid the sterility, with the priority aim of procreation. The techniques and the strategies
of the treatments of aided procreation are multiple and go from the microconservation of gameti
and embryos, to the cryopreservation and the transfer of frozen embryos. They are accompanied
also by more general participations, as the induction into the ovulation, for the anovulatory sterility,
as the endocrine cure, in order to avoid the azoospermy or a serious hypooligospermy, as the
andrologic advice, in order to cure infections, varicocele and anatomical defects of genitalia.
The operations of aided procreation can be "minor", as for example, the intracervical or uterine
insemination, in the cases of simple subfertility, or can be "major", in the cases exactly of greater
infertility, as the azoospermy or the premature menopause, as the insemination in vitro or the
intracytoplasmatic injections of spermatozoa, with the successive transfer of the embryos in the womb.
