Why is IUI Treatment Performed?

A couple or a person’s ability to become pregnant depends on various things and the IUI is used more often in people who have:

• Donor sperm
• Unexplained infertility
• Infertility related to endometriosis
• Mild male factor infertility
• Cervical factor infertility
• Ovulatory factor infertility
• Semen allergy

How the IUI Treatment Procedure is Done?

This procedure is customized based on the patient's needs and for that healthcare team will provide imaging tests to determine the time to perform the procedure. The IUI procedure is performed with:

• Natural ovulation (release of an egg): If your ovulation is regular, you might consider IUI during this time. You won't need ovulation-inducing drugs, and doctors will schedule your IUI for your most fertile day.
• Ovulation induction: If you're not ovulating regularly, you might opt for ovulation induction with IUI. First, you take medications to boost egg development, and then doctors plan the IUI based on your hormone and ultrasound tests, which state when your eggs are ready.
• Partner sperm: A couple can use the male partner's sperm for intrauterine insemination (IUI). We collect and prepare the sperm for this procedure. Our sperm banking services also help individuals. They want to preserve sperm before medical treatments.
• Donor sperm: If you don't want to use your partner's sperm, you can opt for donor sperm. We usually arrange for this from an external sperm bank or a known donor.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

• A uterine exam.
• Ultrasounds of your uterus.
• A semen analysis.
• Screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other infectious diseases.
• Blood tests.

Who are the Candidates

• Those who have tried to conceive for at least one year without a known cause of infertility.
• The male partner has subfertile semen parameters.
• The female partner has scar tissue on the cervix.
• They've decided to use donor sperm to get pregnant.

Complications

• Multiple births
• Infection
• Spotting (a small amount of bleeding in the vagina)
• Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)

Conclusion

IUI boosts fertilization chances by guiding more sperm to the egg-meeting spot. It's cheaper than IVF but can be a barrier without insurance. Success varies with the cause of infertility. Also, using fertility drugs with IUI raises the risk of multiple births.
