IUI

Intrauterine Insemination also referred to as Artificial Insemination, is an infertility treatment in which sperm is placed inside the female partner’s uterus near the fallopian tubes in order to increase the chances of pregnancy. This procedure helps sperm in getting closer to the egg. The sperm is placed in the uterus around the time when the female partner is ovulating.
IUI decreases the distance that a sperm has to travel to reach the egg thus, making conception easier and less time consuming. IUI treatment is a rather cheap and less invasive choice when compared to In Vitro Fertilization.

Also, it is necessary to remove seminal plasma to avoid contractions of the uterus caused by prostaglandins. Once the semen is prepared, the infertility specialist shall put the sperm right into your uterus.

Semen Preparation

The success of an IUI treatment widely depends upon the quality of the specimen. Generally, after processing the semen sample the number of motile sperm should be 5 million at least for an IUI treatment to be successful.

Quality of the Specimen

Insemination takes place at the IVF clinic where the doctor shall attach the sample of healthy sperm to the end of a flexible tube i.e., catheter. The catheter is injected into the uterus through cervical opening where the sperm sample is pushed through the tube into the uterus after which the catheter is removed.
