Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Overview

IUI stands for intrauterine insemination. The purpose of the procedure is to increase the chances of fertilization by bringing the sperm closer to the fallopian tubes, where fertilization typically occurs. It is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or cervical issues. Intrauterine insemination can be performed with or without the use of fertility medications to stimulate ovulation.

IUI is a type of artificial insemination that places millions of healthy sperm directly into a woman’s uterus, while she is ovulating. It is the best, safest, and an effective treatment to treat infertility. The process takes only a few minutes and causes minimal discomfort.

Also, it is a relatively non-invasive and less expensive fertility treatment compared to other procedures.

Intrauterine insemination may be required in the following situations:

  • Unexplained infertility

  • Mild male factor infertility

  • Cervical issues

  • Ejaculation dysfunction

  • Endometriosis-related infertility

  • Donor sperm

  • Semen allergy

  • Problems with ovulation

The process of intrauterine insemination involves several steps:

1. Ovulation monitoring: Before proceeding with IUI, the woman's menstrual cycle is closely monitored. This may involve tracking the growth of follicles through ultrasounds and measuring hormone levels through blood tests.
In case hormone therapy is involved to stimulate ovulation, your progress will be monitored through ultrasound scans to assess the development of eggs. Once the eggs reach maturity, you will receive an injection to trigger their release.

2. Timing of insemination:  The goal is to perform the insemination as close to the time of ovulation as possible to maximize the chances of fertilization. Insemination can be scheduled for the day of ovulation or sometimes the day before.

3. Semen preparation:  In the laboratory, the semen sample undergoes a process called sperm washing. This involves separating the motile and healthy sperm from the seminal fluid and other impurities. The processed sperm is concentrated into a small volume for insemination.

4. Insemination procedure:  A thin catheter is carefully inserted into your uterus through the cervix. Using this catheter, the high-quality sperm extracted from the semen sample is gently transferred into the uterine cavity.

5. Pregnancy testing:  Approximately two weeks after the procedure, a pregnancy test is performed to determine if conception has occurred.

Here are some things you can do in consult with your doctor to prepare yourself for IUI:

  • Undergo testing such as Ovarian reserve testing, Semen analysis, Ultrasound, Tubal patency test, Screening for infectious diseases, and Blood tests to measure hormone levels.

  • Avoid sexual activity for 2-3 days before your IUI

  • Quit Smoking

  • Quit Alcohol and Drugs

  • Eat healthy food

  • Manage your stress

The right candidate for IUI depends on the fertility diagnosis and circumstances. Here are some factors that may make someone the right candidate for IUI include:

  • Female under the age of 35 years

  • Female with irregular menstrual cycle

  • Abnormal ovulation 

  • Problems with cervical mucus

  • One open Fallopian tube

  • Male with low sperm count or low sperm motility

  • Unexplained infertility

  • Female with good ovarian reserve

  • Female is using donor sperm

  • When one partner is experiencing premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction.

  • If a female has a semen allergy

Some of the advantages of IUI treatment are:

  • Less invasive procedure

  • Cost-effective

  • Lower risk of complications

  • Enhances sperm quality

  • Less stress on the body

  • Short treatment time

  • Increased chances of pregnancy

  • Minimal medication required

Here are some things you may expect after IUI treatment:

  • You may experience mild cramping and spotting for a few days.

  • You may experience the symptoms of pregnancy after some days such as nausea, breast tenderness, mood swings, fatigue, etc.

The cost of Intrauterine Insemination treatment can vary depending on several factors such as the location, fertility clinic, the expertise of the medical team, additional procedures or medications required, ovulation and follicle monitoring, number of IUI cycles required, and any specific individual circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn about the world class health care we provide

Intrauterine insemination is typically performed around the time of ovulation. The sperm is introduced into the uterus when the ovary releases an egg for fertilization. The timing of ovulation varies among women and is closely monitored during IUI treatment.

IUI is generally not a painful procedure. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort during the process.

Some lifestyle changes are recommended to promote a healthy environment for potential pregnancy. After IUI, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, smoking, alcohol consumption, and excessive caffeine intake.

A pregnancy test can be taken approximately two weeks after the IUI treatment.

IUI is often recommended as an initial treatment option before considering more complex methods like in vitro fertilization (IVF). It can be suitable for various scenarios, including:

  • Mild cases of endometriosis

  • Infertility related to the cervix or cervical mucus

  • Male factor infertility, such as low sperm count or motility, erection or ejaculation difficulties, etc.

  • Azoospermia (Using donor sperm)

  • Unexplained infertility
