Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a popular fertility treatment aimed at enhancing the chances of conception for couples facing infertility. It is a minimally invasive, cost-effective procedure often recommended as the first line of treatment before more advanced options like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) involves placing washed and concentrated sperm directly into a woman’s uterus during her ovulation period. This process increases the likelihood of the sperm reaching and fertilizing the egg, bypassing potential barriers in the reproductive tract. It is often used for couples facing mild infertility issues.
The fertility specialist monitors the woman’s ovulation cycle using ultrasound and hormone tests. In some cases, fertility medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries for better egg production.
