Intrauterine Insemination(IUI)
IUI Treatment
IUI is a simple, quick, and straightforward Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedure that has helped hundreds and thousands of couples realize their parenthood dreams.
It is a procedure where the near-real conception is made possible by inserting the concentrated sperm directly into the uterus using a catheter. This direct placement of the concentrated sperm removes all the hurdles a sperm must face to reach the egg. This quick placement accelerates fertilization and paves the way for natural conception.
Unlike other procedures, IUI is less invasive, produces quick results, and is a cost-effective ART procedure that can be opted for by couples with a specific cause of infertility.
Who can opt for Intrauterine Insemination?
At Atom Fertility, we recommend IUI as the primary fertility treatment for couples facing challenges in conceiving due to the following reasons:
- Male infertility, such as lower sperm count or poor sperm quality.
- Ejaculation dysfunction in men.
- Ovulation problems cause female infertility.
- Unexplained infertility in either men or women.
- Abnormal pain during sexual intercourse.
If men or women are experiencing difficulties conceiving and fall into any of the above categories, IUI treatment may be a suitable option to consider.
Atom Fertility: Procedure for IUI Treatment
IUI treatment is a relatively simple and quick procedure that takes only 30 minutes once the couple reaches our fertility center in Karimnagar.
Before the day of the procedure, our fertility specialist at Atom Fertility monitors the menstruation cycle of the woman to identify the ideal fertile window and then schedule the date for the IUI process.
Here’s a brief overview of the IUI treatment:
A semen sample is collected from the male partner about an hour before the insemination procedure.
The collected semen sample is processed to separate the sperm from seminal fluid. This step enhances the ability of the sperm to fertilize the egg when inseminated.
A medical speculum that widens the vaginal walls to access the cervix easily is placed in the vaginal.
The IUI doctor begins the insemination process by guiding the straw-like catheter gently through the speculum.
The speculum allows the catheter to reach the uterus through the cervix. The concentrated sperm is then injected into the uterine cavity through the catheter.
The insemination process is painless and quick and takes only a few minutes.
After a brief rest at the IUI center in Karimnagar, the couple can return home and resume their normal activities.
Throughout the procedure, our team at fertility center in the Karimnagar ensures a supportive and comfortable environment, and we are available to address any concerns or questions you may have.
After the IUI Process
After the IUI process at our fertility center in Karimnagar, fertility medications are prescribed by our specialists. It is recommended that the woman waits for two weeks before performing the pregnancy test.
During this waiting period, it is entirely normal to experience symptoms like spotting, cramps, breast tenderness, and dizziness. A pregnancy test is performed 10 to 14 days after the IUI process at our in-house IUI center in Karimnagar to ensure accuracy.
