OPS-Code 9-270.y:
Infertility treatment: Artificial insemination: Unspecified
You underwent artificial insemination.
Artificial insemination is a form of fertility treatment. Fertility treatment can help with infertility, for example.
During artificial insemination, prepared sperm is introduced into the woman’s body. The aim of artificial insemination is for the sperm to fertilize an egg cell. The fertilized egg cell can then embed itself in the uterus. The uterus or womb sits in the pelvis and is pear-shaped. The narrower part extends downward into the vagina and is called the cervix. When a woman is pregnant, the child grows in her uterus.
