Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): A Simple Fertility Treatment
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into a woman’s uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. The procedure is timed to coincide with ovulation, maximizing the likelihood of sperm meeting the egg. IUI is often recommended for couples facing mild male infertility, unexplained infertility, cervical issues, or ovulation problems.

How IUI Works
Ovulation Monitoring: The woman’s cycle is monitored to determine the ideal timing for insemination, either through natural ovulation or with the help of fertility medications.
Sperm Preparation: A sperm sample is collected and “washed” to concentrate healthy sperm and remove impurities.
Insemination: Using a thin catheter, the prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus.
Benefits of IUI
Non-invasive and generally painless with minimal side effects.
Affordable compared to more advanced fertility treatments like IVF.
Suitable for various infertility issues and can be combined with medications for better outcomes.
IUI is a straightforward and low-cost fertility treatment option, offering many couples a promising path toward conception with minimal intervention.
