Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure for people who are facing infertility problems. During this procedure, the doctor will wash the sperm and place into the uterus (womb) to facilitate fertilization.
IUI is the best option for people who are diagnosed with unexplained infertility, low sperm count or low motility or an incompatibility between the sperm and the cervical mucus. With this procedure, one can also overcome problems associated with a man’s inability to ejaculate inside the woman’s vagina due to impotence, premature ejaculation or other medical conditions.
Procedure Of IUI Treatment
Before IUI, the doctor usually gives female ovulation-stimulating medicines. In which case, careful monitoring is crucial, and insemination is to coincide with ovulation – release of the eggs. Generally about 24-36 hours after the surge in LH hormone that suggests ovulation will happen soon.
A semen specimen taken after 2-5 days of abstinence from ejaculation is washed at the lab to separate the sperm from the seminal fluid. The doctor injects washed specimen of highly motile sperm either in the cervix or higher in the uterine cavity using a sterile, flexible catheter. This technique maximizes the number of sperm cells in the uterus, thus increasing the possibility of conception.
The IUI process takes solely a few minutes and entails minimal discomfort.
