What Is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple and minimally invasive fertility treatment that involves placing specially prepared (washed) sperm directly into the uterus at the optimal time of ovulation. This increases the chances of the sperm reaching the egg naturally inside the fallopian tube, improving the probability of conception.

IUI is one of the most recommended first-line treatments for couples with mild fertility challenges, and it is safe, quick, and cost-effective.

What Happens In An IUI Treatment?

The IUI treatment procedure improves the chances of fertilization by preparing healthy sperm and placing it directly into the uterus at the most fertile time. By increasing the number of healthy sperm reaching the egg, the IUI treatment success rate is significantly enhanced for couples facing mild infertility issues.

Use of Ovulation Induction Medicines

The IUI treatment procedure improves the chances of fertilization by preparing healthy sperm and placing it directly into the uterus at the most fertile time. By increasing the number of healthy sperm reaching the egg, the IUI treatment success rate is significantly enhanced for couples facing mild infertility issues.

Use of Ovulation Induction Medicines

Studies indicate that when ovulation induction medications are combined with IUI, the success rate of IUI increases. Therefore, we recommend particular ovulation induction medicines to our patients prior to their natural ovulation period.

How long does the IUI procedure take to complete?

The IUI procedure is somewhat similar to a simple gynecology exam that takes 5-10 minutes to complete. The sperm is collected beforehand, isolated, and washed in our andrology lab.

We look for the most motile sperm to place in the patient’s womb to increase the chances of conception. The placing of the sperm is carried out using a soft catheter that won’t disturb the sperm. Cramping after the procedure is normal.

Can Cervical Mucus Obstruct The Journey Of Sperms?

The role of cervical mucus in getting pregnant is important. The mucus needs to be creamy and stretchy, and wet and slippery enough to enable the sperm to swim up the vaginal canal and reach the egg. While cervical mucus acts hostile, it can make it difficult for the sperm to reach the eggs. These issues can be resolved with IUI. 

Success Rate of IUI Procedure

The IUI treatment procedure is quite similar to a simple gynecology exam and usually takes only 5–10 minutes to complete. The sperm is collected in advance, then isolated and washed in our andrology lab to ensure only the most motile and healthy sperm are selected. These are gently placed into the patient’s uterus using a soft catheter, which does not disturb the sperm and helps improve the chances of conception. Mild cramping after the procedure is normal. With this careful approach, the IUI treatment success rate increases for many couples.
