What is Sperm Washing? Sperm washing is a procedure used to prepare fresh sperm for use in IUI or other ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) procedures. It allows sperm a better chance for survival and fertilization. The procedure separates sperm cells from semen, helping to get rid of dead or slow-moving sperm as well as other constituents that may impair fertilization. This leaves behind sperm that can swim faster and that are more likely to fertilize egg, thus increasing your chances of becoming pregnant.
