• Once our fertility specialist has established the root cause of infertility through standard testing, they may recommend IUI in the following situations:
• Mild male infertility-if there are problems with sperm count or quality (sperm movement, shape, or size).
• Ejaculation dysfunction-If the male partner suffers from impotence – unable to have or sustain an erection and unable to have sexual intercourse due to a physical or medical condition.
If the female is experiencing irregular or absent ovulation
• Cervical stenosis &other cervical factor-
If the female has been diagnosed with a cervix-related disorder like stenosis, scarring ir thich cer ical mucus IUI is done as unlike during sexual intercourse, in IUI the sperm does not come in contact with the cervix as it is placed directly into the uterine cavity.
• unexplained infertility-IUI treatment may be the first option when the cause of infertility cannot be established.

• For the IUI treatment to take place, the fallopian tubes must be healthy and without blockage. Prior to treatment, your doctor will run diagnostic tests to assess the health of your tubes and uterus.
• You will be given fertility medication to stimulate ovulation and your menstrual cycle will be closely monitored to determine the exact time of ovulation.
• IUI treatment is generally performed within 6 to 24 hours of ovulation. On the day of the procedure, the male partner provides a specimen of sperm which is washed to remove seminal fluid and any dead sperm.
• Your doctor then places the washed sperm into the uterus using a soft catheter. The process of sperm insertion is fairly painless, takes about 5 minutes and does not require anaesthesia.
• You may experience minor discomfort as the vagina is held open using a speculum, however, it subsides quickly and you can resume your routine activities soon after.
