Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one of the simplest and most effective fertility treatments that helps couples achieve pregnancy in a natural yet medically assisted way. At Dr. Sayali Chavan IVF Center, we specialize in performing IUI with precision, care, and advanced techniques to improve the chances of conception for couples facing infertility.

During the IUI procedure, specially prepared (washed and concentrated) sperm are directly placed into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This shortens the sperm’s journey and increases the likelihood of the sperm meeting the egg for successful fertilization.

Who Can Benefit from IUI

IUI is often recommended for:

Unexplained infertility

Mild male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility)

Cervical mucus problems

Ovulation disorders (such as PCOD/PCOS)

Ejaculatory dysfunction

Couples who have difficulty with timed intercourse

Donor sperm insemination

IUI Procedure Steps

Ovulation Monitoring: The woman’s ovulation cycle is tracked using ultrasound scans and hormone tests to determine the best timing.

Sperm Collection & Preparation: The semen sample is collected and processed in the lab to isolate healthy and active sperm.

Sperm Insemination: The prepared sperm are gently inserted into the uterus using a thin, sterile catheter. The procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes.

Post-Procedure Care: The patient rests briefly after the procedure and can resume normal activities the same day.

Benefits of IUI

Simple, painless, and non-surgical procedure

More affordable than IVF or ICSI

Short recovery time — same-day discharge

Higher chances of conception compared to natural intercourse

Can be repeated across multiple cycles if necessary
