Intrauterine Insemination or IUI is a process of planting a healthy sperm of a male in an ovulating uterus of a female. This process increases the chances of pregnancy as it is one of the suitable processes for the couple facing problems with sperm motility or ovulation disorder.
IUI is more cost-effective method than IVF and has higher chances of pregnancy. Experts suggest trying 2-3 rounds of IUI before going for IVF.
IUI can be a beneficial treatment for the couple who are facing infertility that cannot be explained. Erectile dysfunction, lesser sperm count and ovarian disorders are some fertility issues in which IUI can help. Some women have anti-sperm antibodies in their vaginal opening that kills the sperm right after entering and eliminate the chances of pregnancy for which IUI can be suitable option.
At Ferticity, quality tests are performed to find out the condition of patient’s uterus. Specialists explained how a healthy uterus is important to bear the pregnancy. Ovulation inducer medicines are also given to the patient to increase the ovulation and the chances of pregnancy. On the day of insemination, sperm is collected from the male partner and washed in the lab to separate the healthy sperm. The sperm is then inserted in the female uterus and the procedure just takes few minutes without any anaesthesia. After 15 days of the insemination, pregnancy test is performed to check the results.
