Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

What is IUI?

Intrauterine Insemination is a simple and commonly performed fertility treatment that helps improve the chances of pregnancy. In this procedure, specially prepared and concentrated sperm are placed directly inside the uterus around the time of ovulation. This allows the sperm to reach the egg more easily and increases the likelihood of fertilization.
IUI is often considered one of the first-line fertility treatments because it is less invasive, more affordable, and relatively comfortable for patients.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

IUI may be recommended for couples experiencing :

  • Mild male factor infertility
  • Unexplained infertility
  • Irregular ovulation or PCOS
  • Cervical factor infertility
  • Mild endometriosis
  • Ejaculation difficulties
  • Couples trying to conceive with donor sperm
Our fertility specialists perform a complete evaluation before recommending IUI to ensure the treatment is suitable for your condition.

Steps Involved in IUI Treatment

1. Initial Fertility Evaluation

The treatment begins with :

  • Detailed medical history
  • Hormonal investigations
  • Ultrasound examination
  • Semen analysis

2. Ovulation Monitoring

Natural or medication-assisted ovulation is monitored using ultrasound scans and hormonal assessment to identify the ideal time for insemination.

3. Sperm Preparation

The semen sample is processed in the laboratory to select the healthiest and most motile sperm.

4. Insemination Procedure

The prepared sperm is gently inserted into the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is quick, usually painless, and performed without anesthesia.

5. Pregnancy Testing

A pregnancy test is typically done around two weeks after the procedure.

Advantages of IUI

Why Many Couples Choose IUI

  • Simple and minimally invasive procedure
  • Short treatment duration
  • Cost-effective fertility option
  • No surgery or hospitalization required
  • Minimal discomfort and quick recovery
  • Can be combined with ovulation induction medicines

IUI is often recommended before moving to advanced fertility treatments such as IVF.

Success of IUI Treatment

The success of IUI depends on several factors including :

  • Woman’s age
  • Egg quality and ovulation status
  • Sperm quality
  • Duration of infertility
  • Underlying medical conditions

In some cases, multiple IUI cycles may be advised to improve pregnancy chances.
