Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility procedure that involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into a woman’s uterus during ovulation. By reducing the distance the sperm must travel to reach the egg, IUI significantly increases the chances of fertilization — while keeping the process close to natural conception.

Unlike IVF or ICSI, IUI does not involve egg retrieval or embryo culture. It’s a simple, low-cost, and quick procedure performed on an outpatient basis, making it a popular first-line treatment for many couples.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

IUI is recommended for couples facing mild or moderate fertility challenges, such as:

• Unexplained infertility (when no specific cause is found)

• Mild male infertility (low sperm count or motility)

• Cervical mucus problems preventing sperm entry

• Ovulation disorders (treated with fertility medications)

• Ejaculation or erection difficulties

• Donor sperm conception for single women or same-sex couples

Your fertility specialist will evaluate your condition to determine if IUI is the right treatment for you.

Step-by-Step IUI Procedure

1. Initial Consultation and Fertility Evaluation

Both partners undergo a thorough evaluation including hormone analysis, semen testing, and ultrasound scans to understand fertility status and identify the ideal treatment plan.

2. Ovulation Monitoring or Stimulation

To improve success rates, mild fertility medications may be prescribed to stimulate ovulation. The doctor closely monitors follicle development through ultrasounds and blood hormone tests.

3. Sperm Collection and Preparation

A sperm sample is collected from the male partner (or donor). The sample is then “washed” in the laboratory to separate healthy, motile sperm from impurities or non-motile sperm.

4. Insemination Process

During ovulation, the prepared sperm is gently inserted into the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. The process is quick (about 5–10 minutes), painless, and requires no anesthesia.

5. Post-Procedure and Follow-Up

After insemination, the woman may rest briefly before returning to normal activities. A pregnancy test is scheduled around two weeks later to confirm the result.

Benefits of IUI Treatment

• Non-surgical, safe, and painless procedure
• More natural than IVF – fertilization occurs inside the body
• Short treatment duration (completed within one cycle)
• Affordable fertility treatment option
• Ideal first step before advanced treatments like IVF or ICSI
• No recovery downtime — resume daily activities the same day

Success Rates of IUI

Success rates for IUI depend on factors like age, cause of infertility, and sperm quality. On average:

• 10–20% success rate per cycle for women under 35

• Higher success when combined with ovulation induction medication

• Cumulative success of 40–50% after 3–4 cycles

One Life Medical Tourism ensures your IUI treatment is performed by experienced fertility specialists who tailor each cycle to your unique reproductive profile for the best outcomes.

After an IUI cycle, women are encouraged to:

• Rest for a few hours before resuming normal routine

• Avoid strenuous activities or stress
