Who is IUI Treatment for?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) Treatment is suitable for individuals in the following scenarios:

• Unsuccessful Conception: Women unable to conceive despite a year of unprotected intercourse.
• Normal Fertility Yet No Pregnancy: Those with normal fertility tests but still facing challenges conceiving.
• Unsuccessful Ovarian Monitoring: Women who’ve undergone unsuccessful 4-5 months of ovarian monitoring and treatment.
• Cervical Mucus Issues: Women with unhealthy cervical mucus.
• Specific Conditions: Patients dealing with vaginismus or antisperm antibodies.

For successful IUI treatment:

For Women:

• Normal Ovarian Reserve: Adequate egg production.
• Healthy Fallopian Tubes: Unobstructed and functional.
• Normal Uterus: A healthy environment for pregnancy.

For Men:

• Normal Sperm Quality: Structurally sound sperm.
• Adequate Sperm Count and Motility: Vital for successful IUI.
• Individuals not meeting these conditions might experience lower success rates with IUI treatment.

Procedure Overview:

The IUI procedure generally spans around 15 days and involves several steps:

• Hormonal Stimulation: Hormonal tablets or injections are administered for around 5-7 days to stimulate egg development, tracked via ultrasound.
• Sperm Preparation: Sperm is selected for optimal motility in the andrology lab and collected on the day of the procedure.
• Insemination: Around 36-38 hours after hormonal treatment, prepared sperm is introduced into the uterus via a catheter.
• Expectation: The aim is for the sperm to fertilize the egg, forming an embryo that attaches to the uterine wall, enabling pregnancy.
• Monitoring: Throughout the 15-day period, the procedure is monitored 2-3 times using ultrasound.

IUI provides a natural fertility treatment option for couples experiencing difficulties in conceiving, enhancing their chances of achieving pregnancy.
