Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) by Dr. Priya Khamatkar in Navi Mumbai

What is IUI?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm into a woman's uterus to facilitate fertilization. It's commonly used in cases of unexplained infertility, cervical issues, or mild male factor infertility.

What are the steps of IUI?

Ovulation Monitoring:

The woman's ovulation cycle is closely monitored using ultrasound and blood tests.

Sperm Preparation:

The sperm sample is collected and processed to concentrate healthy, motile sperm.

Insemination:

During ovulation, the prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a small and thin catheter, bypassing potential barriers like cervical mucus.

Why Should One Get IUI?

Non-Invasive: Compared to more invasive procedures like IVF, IUI is less physically taxing.
Cost-Effective: It's generally more affordable than in vitro fertilization (IVF) and can be a good starting point for fertility treatment.
Minimal Side Effects: The IUI procedure is safe, with minimal discomfort or side effects.
Optimal Timing: IUI ensures that sperm is placed in the uterus around the time of ovulation, increasing the chances of successful fertilization.
Addressing Specific Issues: It's particularly beneficial for couples with cervical factors, unexplained infertility, or mild male infertility.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) offers a promising pathway for couples seeking to overcome fertility challenges. Its precision, affordability, and minimal invasiveness make it a popular choice in the realm of assisted reproductive technologies, offering hope and opportunities for conception.
