IUI Treatment in India

What is IUI?

IUIstands for intrauterine insemination, which is often referred to as artificial insemination. It is a type of fertility treatment that is concerned with directly placing the sperms into the uterus. The IUI treatment cost in India varies depending on the clinic and the expertise of the doctor.

Which individuals need to opt for intrauterine insemination treatment?

Instead of focusing on the infertility issues in women, the IUI infertility procedure is generally concerned with and favorable in cases where the male partner is facing some mild infertility problems. Some of the most common ones include the following issues.

• Low sperm count: Issues that include the unavailability of adequate sperms required for natural fertilization. Due to the presence of fewer sperms, the chances of fertilization also tend to decrease.
• Low sperm motility: The deficiency in the ability of sperm to swim up and reach the egg.
• Cervical factor infertility: Situations in which the mucus present in the cervix directly impacts sperm motility.
• Sexual dysfunction: Impotency; not capable of performing sexual activities.

Intrauterine insemination is also commonly used when patients use donor sperm for conception. At that point, this procedure is also referred to as donor insemination. We at Delhi IVF Clinic are associated with reputable sperm banks that allow the patients to select and procure semen samples of their choice. Donor insemination becomes necessary in case of low sperm count and low sperm motility. Due to these problems, certain sperm extraction procedures will automatically fail. In addition, donor insemination is also suitable for single women who do not have a partner but still wish to conceive.

IUI treatments are also popularly used in cases where the cause of infertility is unknown. However, we at Delhi IVF Clinic do not believe in the concept of unexplained infertility. Instead, we are sure that something important is being overlooked, which is why the main cause is not being identified. Hence, to prevent this from happening, we look into even minor details, identify the root causes, and then formulate a specific treatment plan that will help achieve desirable results.

What is the procedure involved in the IUI treatment in India?

There are a few systematic steps included in the intrauterine insemination infertility treatment procedure. The steps are carried out in the same format as mentioned below. However, the steps can only be carried out when the fallopian tubes of the female patient are open, prior to the IVF, through tests for tubal patency.

Sperm collection and washing:

Sperms of the male partner or donor are collected and washed. Doing this helps the doctor eliminate dead and low quality sperms while concentrating on the most motile ones.

Determining the ovulation period:

The gynecologist determines when the female is ovulating in order to make sure that the sperms are injected at the right time. In case the female is facing some ovulation or infertility issues, the doctor will mildly stimulate the woman's ovaries to produce mature eggs. The ovulation period can be determined by a number of ways including at home ovulation kit, blood tests, or transvaginal ultrasound.

Insertion of the sperm:

During the time of ovulation, when there is a sufficient amount of mature eggs in the ovaries, the practitioner uses a small tube and places the washed sperm directly into the uterus.

Recovery period:

The female can get back to her normal work routine as soon as the sperm insertion procedure is completed. Although the procedures involved are painless, some women might experience mild cramping or blood spots for a few days.

Pregnancy test:

It is advised that two weeks after the IUI procedure, the female should take a pregnancy test to determine if the treatment has worked or not.
