Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Process

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple, minimally invasive fertility treatment designed to increase the chances of conception. The procedure involves placing prepared sperm directly into a woman's uterus, bringing them closer to the egg during ovulation. This targeted approach bypasses potential barriers in the cervix or vagina, improving the likelihood of fertilization.

Steps Involved in the IUI Process:

Initial Consultation and Assessment:

• A thorough evaluation of the couple’s medical history and fertility concerns is conducted.
• Diagnostic tests such as hormone analysis, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis are performed.

Ovulation Monitoring:

• Ovulation is either tracked naturally or stimulated using fertility medications to ensure the release of a healthy egg.
• Ultrasound scans and hormonal tests help pinpoint the optimal timing for insemination.

Sperm Preparation:

• The sperm sample, either from the partner or a donor, is washed and processed to isolate high-quality, motile sperm.
• This preparation increases the chances of successful fertilization while removing unwanted components.

Insemination Procedure:

• Using a thin, flexible catheter, the prepared sperm is carefully introduced into the uterus.
• The procedure is quick, painless, and typically takes just a few minutes.

Post-Procedure and Follow-Up:

• Patients may be advised to rest briefly after the procedure, though normal activities can often be resumed the same day.
• A pregnancy test is conducted after two weeks to confirm the outcome.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

IUI is an effective treatment for:

• Unexplained infertility
• Mild male factor infertility (e.g., low sperm count or motility)
• Cervical factor infertility
• Ovulatory disorders
• Couples using donor sperm
