IUI: Overview

IUI is an abbreviated form of intrauterine insemination. It is used to treat fertility problems. In this process, male sperm is introduced into the woman’s uterus to help fertilize. The main goal in this procedure is to increase the number of a sperm count to reach the fallopian tubes and thus helps in facilitating fertilization. In this method, sperm is collected from the male partner. Then the sperm is washed to remove all the debris and seminal fluid. The washed sperm is well concentrated and placed directly into the uterus of the women. Washed sperm is placed during the time of ovulation [when the ovary releases eggs] and thus the fertilization process takes place. This IUI process is mostly coordinated with your menstrual cycle and few fertility medications. As with every surgery, IUI also has few complications and risks. IUI is less expensive and less invasive when compared with other infertility treatments. If IUI fails 3-5 times then most of the patients prefer IVF [in-vitro fertilization] method.
