Sperm washing is an important procedure done to separate healthy and virile sperm cells from the dead and diseased ones. It also gets rid of the other components like enzymes and proteins of the semen which might be harmful to the egg or uterus. The process of sperm washing is an easy one but requires the use of a centrifuge device that will spin the semen sample a few times to separate the contents. Then the sperms are concentrated using a solution called Human Tubal Fluid (HTF) that nourishes as well as preserves the sperm cells. As you can tell, it is a complex process and is extremely difficult to conduct at home. We recommend you get it done at an IUI clinic for the best results.
