Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
Who should go for IUI ?

IUI is generally the first line of treatment when medication and timed intercourse does not succeed. This procedure may be recommended for couples facing:

Sexual Disorders :

IUI is considered to be the right treatment option for couples in which the male partner is diagnosed with certain infertility-related problems including low sperm count, problem in shape and movement of sperm, or erectile dysfunction.

Ovulation Disorders :

IUI is recommended to women with ovulation disorder and conditions like unexplained infertility. Initially, a patient is given medicines for ovarian stimulation to help enhancing and improving the fertility of a woman which may not be possible without medication.

Endometriosis :

Endometriosis is a disorder wherein tissue similar to the tissue lining the uterus grows outside the uterine cavity. Such women with endometriosis may also benefit from the IUI procedure.

Cervical Factor :

IUI helps in treating reproductive health disorders related to cervical stenosis or abnormalities by directly depositing sperm into the uterus. A thickened cervix can prevent sperm from reaching the egg thereby decreasing the chances of conception.

Male factor :

IUI treatment is also useful in infertility cases related to male subfertility. IUI treatment has high success rates for male infertility. Some of the common male infertility issues are erectile dysfunction, low sex drive, or retrograde ejaculation.
