Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Treatment

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a popular and less invasive fertility treatment designed to increase the chances of pregnancy in couples facing mild fertility challenges. In this procedure, healthy, motile sperm are processed and carefully placed directly into the woman’s uterus during her ovulation period, helping the sperm get closer to the egg for fertilization.

When Is IUI Recommended?

• Unexplained infertility after trying for a year or more
• Mild male infertility (low sperm count or motility)
• Problems with ovulation (e.g., PCOS)
• Cervical issues that may prevent sperm from reaching the egg
• Use of donor sperm in cases of single mothers or same-sex couples
• Couples preferring a simpler, less invasive fertility option before IVF

How Does the IUI Procedure Work?

1. Ovarian Stimulation: Fertility medications may be given to encourage the development of one or more eggs.
2. Ovulation Monitoring: Ultrasound scans and hormonal tests help determine the best time for insemination.
3. Sperm Collection & Preparation: A semen sample is collected from the male partner or donor, and the healthiest sperm are selected.
4. Insemination: Using a thin catheter, the prepared sperm are gently inserted into the uterus.
5. Pregnancy Test: After about two weeks, a pregnancy test confirms whether the treatment was successful.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

• Couples with mild male infertility factors
• Women with ovulatory problems or mild endometriosis
• Individuals using donor sperm
• Couples experiencing unexplained infertility
• Anyone wishing to try a simpler fertility option before IVF

Benefits of IUI Treatment

• Less invasive and more affordable compared to IVF
• Simple, quick, and generally painless procedure
• Minimal or no need for anesthesia or hospital admission
• Can be repeated over several cycles to increase success chances
• Helps overcome mild sperm or cervical issues

IUI Success Rates

The success rate of IUI depends on factors like the woman’s age, fertility health, and the quality of the sperm. On average, the success rate for women under 35 is around 10–20% per cycle, with higher chances when combined with fertility medications. Multiple cycles of IUI often increase the likelihood of success.

Cost of IUI Treatment

IUI is one of the most cost-effective fertility treatments available. The cost typically ranges between ₹8,000 to ₹20,000 per cycle, depending on factors such as fertility medication, sperm preparation techniques, and diagnostic tests.
