Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

What is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine Insemination IUI is a specialised infertility treatment designed to assist natural conception. The process involves injecting the processed or healthy sperm of the male partner directly into the uterus of the female. Since the distance needed to be travelled by the sperm is reduced, the chances of fertilisation are increased. Unlike more intensive reproductive methods, like IVF, IUI treatment is less invasive, making it a quick and less risky procedure, which can be done on an outpatient basis. The method is generally recommended to patients with not too complex infertility disorders and facing delays in conception.
