Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a popular assisted reproductive technology designed to enhance fertility. This procedure involves placing sperm directly into a woman’s uterus during her ovulation period, increasing the chances of conception. IUI is often recommended for couples facing specific fertility challenges, such as unexplained infertility, ovulation disorders, or mild male factor infertility.
The IUI process begins with a thorough evaluation of both partners to identify any underlying issues. Once the necessary tests are completed, the woman undergoes ovarian stimulation using medications to encourage the development of multiple eggs. Monitoring through ultrasounds ensures that the timing of the insemination aligns perfectly with ovulation. On the day of the procedure, a sperm sample is collected, prepared, and concentrated to maximize the number of healthy sperm before being inserted into the uterus via a thin catheter.
The procedure is relatively simple and typically takes only a few minutes. It is performed in a clinic and usually does not require anesthesia. Afterward, patients are encouraged to rest for a short period before resuming normal activities.
