IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is one of the most commonly recommended fertility treatments for couples beginning their journey. At Sri Supraja Hospital, Tanuku, IUI procedures are performed under the expert guidance of Dr. N. Indira, IVF Specialist and Laparoscopic Surgeon, who brings 7 years of focused experience in fertility care to every patient.
What is IUI?
IUI is a fertility procedure in which specially processed (washed and concentrated) sperm is placed directly into the woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation. By reducing the distance sperm need to travel, IUI significantly improves the chances of fertilisation. It is typically the first fertility treatment recommended before considering advanced options like IVF.
Who is IUI Recommended For?
- Unexplained infertility: Couples unable to conceive without a clearly identified medical cause.
- Mild male factor infertility: Cases with slightly reduced sperm count, motility, or morphology.
- Cervical factor infertility: When cervical mucus prevents normal sperm penetration.
- Ovulation disorders: Women who ovulate irregularly, including those with PCOS.
- Single women or same-sex couples: Seeking pregnancy using donor sperm.
The IUI Procedure — What to Expect
- Cycle Monitoring: N. Indira monitors your cycle with ultrasound and hormone blood tests to pinpoint the optimal time for insemination.
- Ovulation Induction (if needed): Mild fertility medications may be prescribed to stimulate and accurately time ovulation.
- Sperm Preparation: A semen sample (from partner or donor) is processed in the lab to concentrate the healthiest, most motile sperm.
- Insemination: Prepared sperm is gently placed into the uterus using a thin flexible catheter — quick, simple, and typically painless.
- Follow-Up & Pregnancy Test: A short rest period is advised post-procedure. A pregnancy blood test is performed approximately 14 days later.
