Intrauterine Insemination

IUI, or intrauterine insemination, is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into a woman's uterus during ovulation. This procedure can help couples who are experiencing infertility due to low sperm count, issues with sperm motility, or unexplained fertility issues.

How Does IUI Work?

Before the procedure, the sperm is washed to remove any impurities and to concentrate the sperm count. Then, during ovulation, a thin catheter is used to insert the sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing any potential barriers that may prevent fertilization.

Benefits of IUI:

• Increases the chances of fertilization
• Less invasive than other fertility treatments
• Can be less expensive than other fertility treatments
• No surgery or anesthesia required
• Can be combined with fertility medications to further increase chances of success

Is IUI Right for You?

IUI may be the right fertility treatment option for you if:

• You have a low sperm count or motility
• You have unexplained fertility issues
• You have issues with cervical mucus
• You have a male partner with erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation
• You want a less invasive and less expensive fertility treatment option
