Intra- Uterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing prepared, good quality sperm directly into a woman's uterus using a catheter, after carefully monitoring or inducing ovulation. This procedure is typically done when there are issues with sperm motility or when there are unexplained fertility problems.
IUI may be recommended in case of less severe infertility issues, where improving the relative movement of sperm and egg can result in fertilization.
IUI Treatment first starts with a correct assessment of the couple’s fertility. Based on the results of important infertility tests, doctor creates a treatment plan.
Once IUI is selected as the treatment option, Doctor as well as your counsellor will set out some pre- treatment fitness plan for you based on your weight, thyroid and other conditions. Through periodic blood tests and ultrasound scan, maturity of follicles is monitored to determine the best time of insemination. Once eggs release is induced, prepared semen of good quality is placed higher in the uterine cavity using a sterile, flexible catheter.
Before the start of treatment, severity and type of infertility is understood. This has three steps-
Doctor understand your concern, your history related to conceiving, medical history etc. and recommends a few tests.
Based on the preliminary assessment, doctor may recommend various tests. Majorly following tests are recommended-
After looking at the test results, Doctor will pick the right treatment for you and discuss important steps of treatment. In house counsellor will take you through the treatment cost structure.
After the assessment is done and patient is declared medically fit to undergo the treatment, IUI procedure will begin
To maximise chances of fertilization, ovulation is monitored and stimulated using medication to ensure maturity of follicles.
The ovulation is then closely monitored using USG Scan of endometrium (lining of the womb). Frequent Blood tests may be carried out to measure hormone levels and determine best time for ovulation.
Once follicles are determined to be mature, egg release will be induced using HcG injection.
The male partner is asked to provide the sperm sample.
The sperm sample collected is then washed in the laboratory, which means separating the higher motility sperm and making it concentrated in small volume.
Once the eggs are released through HcG injection and sperm sample is ready, the final step is insemination. The washed specimen of highly motile sperm is placed higher in the uterine cavity using a sterile, flexible catheter.The insemination is a simple.
Approximately 10-14 days after embryo transfer, a pregnancy test is performed to determine whether implantation has occurred and pregnancy has been achieved. If the test is positive, ongoing prenatal care is initiated to monitor the progress of the pregnancy.
IUI Treatment is a simple and non -invasive process. However, the rate of success for IUI is naturally 10-20%. That is why it is important to take special care and be precise at each and every step.
