Intrauterine insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an assisted reproductive technique designed to enhance the chances of pregnancy by placing processed sperm directly into the woman’s uterus during ovulation. It is a relatively simple, painless, and cost-effective treatment applied in specific infertility cases.

When is IUI Recommended?

IUI may be suitable in the following cases:

  • Mild Male Infertility: Low sperm count or reduced sperm motility.
  • Unexplained Infertility: When all standard fertility tests show normal results but pregnancy has not been achieved.
  • Ovulation Disorders: Such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • Sperm Allergy: When the woman’s immune system reacts to sperm.
  • Donor Sperm Usage: In cases of azoospermia or single motherhood.

Procedure Steps

  1. Ovulation Monitoring:
    The woman’s ovulation is closely monitored using ultrasound to determine the precise timing. The procedure can be performed in a natural cycle or after ovarian stimulation.
  2. Sperm Preparation:
    The partner’s or donor’s sperm is collected and processed in the laboratory to select the most motile and healthy sperm cells.
  3. Sperm Insertion into the Uterus:
    Using a thin catheter, the processed sperm is gently inserted into the woman’s uterus. The procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes.

Success Rates

Success rates depend on factors such as the woman’s age, sperm quality, and underlying fertility issues. Generally, the likelihood of pregnancy ranges between 10-20% per cycle.

Advantages of IUI

  • Simplicity: Less invasive compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • Cost-Effective: More affordable than other assisted reproductive techniques.
  • Natural Process: Closely mimics the natural process of conception.

Potential Risks

  • Multiple Pregnancies: Ovarian stimulation can lead to the development of multiple follicles, increasing the chance of twins or triplets.
  • Minor Infection Risk: Very rarely, inflammation may occur following the procedure.
