Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a common, effective, and less invasive fertility treatment designed to enhance the chances of conception. Dr. K. Monika Reddy, a skilled Obstetrician, Gynecologist, and Fertility Specialist, offers personalized IUI services to help couples achieve pregnancy, especially in cases of unexplained infertility or mild male factor infertility.
What is IUI?
IUI is a procedure in which specially prepared sperm are directly inserted into a woman’s uterus at the time of ovulation, increasing the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes. This process improves the chances of sperm fertilizing the egg and leads to successful pregnancy.
When is IUI Recommended?
IUI may be recommended for couples who are experiencing infertility issues such as:
- Unexplained infertility – When no specific cause is found for infertility despite regular cycles and healthy sperm count.
- Mild male infertility – Low sperm count or low sperm motility that makes it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
- Cervical issues – When the cervix is unable to effectively transport sperm to the uterus.
- Ovulation problems – For women with irregular or absent ovulation cycles, such as those with PCOS.
How is IUI Performed?
Ovarian Stimulation
🔹 In some cases, ovarian stimulation with fertility medications (such as Clomid or injectable gonadotropins) may be prescribed to encourage the production of multiple eggs.
🔹 Regular monitoring through ultrasounds and blood tests ensures proper timing of the procedure.Sperm Collection & Preparation
🔹 A sperm sample is collected from the male partner and processed in the lab. The sperm is washed and concentrated to increase the chances of successful fertilization.Insemination
🔹 Using a thin, flexible catheter, the prepared sperm are carefully placed directly into the woman’s uterus, close to the fallopian tubes, at the optimal time of ovulation.
🔹 This is a simple, quick, and pain-free procedure that requires minimal recovery time.Monitoring and Follow-up
🔹 After the procedure, Dr. Reddy will provide follow-up care and blood tests to monitor hormone levels and confirm pregnancy, typically about two weeks after the IUI.
