Intrauterine Insemination

IUI- Enhancing Fertility with a Gentle and Effective Approach

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into the uterus to increase the chances of pregnancy. During IUI, washed and concentrated sperm are inserted through a thin catheter into the uterus, bypassing the cervix. This procedure is commonly recommended for couples with mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, or certain cervical or ovulatory issues. Compared to more invasive procedures like in vitro fertilization (IVF), IUI is a less complex and less expensive option. It offers a more natural approach to fertility treatment, allowing sperm to reach the fallopian tubes and potentially fertilize the egg. Successful IUI under guidance of gynecologist can result in a healthy pregnancy and the fulfillment of the desire to conceive.
