One of the most commonly used Assisted Reproduction Technique used to treat infertility. It is a minimally invasive process that places washed perms, bypassing the cervix and inside the uterine cavity, closer to the fallopian tubes, around the time of ovulation, allowing more sperm to reach the egg. This process is combined with Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation so as to ensure that there is more than one egg available for fertilization.

When is IUI Useful?

IUI can be used to treat both Male and Female Infertility.

Male Infertility

The process of IUI is commonly used when the male partner has a borderline low sperm count, poor motility, problems in developing an erection or being able to ejaculate.

Female Infertility

IUI is commonly used for women, who have problem not ovulating regularly. In conjunction with ovulation induction, the process is used to treat various issues of female infertility such as endometriosis, cervical scarring due to surgery or infection. However, the process does needs fallopian tubes to be patent (No Blockage), and the husband’s sperm count to be adequate.
