When May IUI Be Recommended?
IUI may be considered in certain fertility situations. The suitability of IUI depends on factors such as ovarian function, ovulation, sperm quality and the condition of the fallopian tubes.
Unexplained Infertility
IUI may be considered where the cause of infertility remains unexplained after appropriate evaluation.
Mild Male-Factor Infertility
IUI may be considered in certain cases of mild male-factor infertility following fertility assessment.
Ovulation Problems
Certain ovulation-related fertility concerns may be considered for IUI treatment.
PMOS Affecting Ovulation
Certain cases of PMOS affecting ovulation may be considered after individual evaluation.
Endometriosis
Certain cases of endometriosis may be considered for IUI depending on the individual fertility assessment.
Other Fertility Situations
Use of donor sperm, difficulty with intercourse, or previous fertility treatment outcomes may be considered where medically appropriate.
What Are the Requirements for IUI?
Before starting IUI, a fertility assessment is generally performed for both partners.
For IUI to be considered, the woman should generally have at least one functioning fallopian tube, as fertilisation normally takes place inside the reproductive tract. Evaluation of ovulation and semen quality may also be recommended.
Factors Considered During Fertility Evaluation
- Ovarian function
- Ovulation
- Sperm quality
- Condition of the fallopian tubes
- Couple's medical history and fertility concerns
How Does IUI Treatment Work?
Dr. Shweta Gupta plans the treatment according to the couple's fertility evaluation and individual reproductive needs.
Fertility Assessment
Dr. Shweta Gupta reviews the couple's medical history and may recommend appropriate tests to understand the underlying fertility concerns.
Ovulation Monitoring
Ovulation may be monitored through ultrasound and, when required, blood tests. Depending on the individual situation, medicines may be used to stimulate ovulation.
Sperm Preparation
A semen sample is processed in the laboratory to separate and concentrate suitable, motile sperm for insemination.
Timing of IUI
The insemination is carefully timed around ovulation to provide the best opportunity for the sperm to meet the egg.
Insemination
The prepared sperm is gently placed inside the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is generally quick and does not require surgery.
Pregnancy Testing
After the recommended waiting period, a pregnancy test may be advised to determine whether the treatment has resulted in pregnancy.
IUI vs IVF – What Is the Difference?
IUI
In IUI, prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus and fertilisation occurs naturally inside the reproductive tract.
IVF
In IVF, eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus.
