What Is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple and effective assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure. During IUI, a doctor places washed sperm directly into a woman’s uterus using a thin catheter. This process increases the chances of fertilization.
By positioning healthy sperm closer to the fallopian tubes during ovulation, IUI helps couples struggling with infertility conceive more effectively.

How the IUI Procedure Works

IUI is one of the most affordable and least invasive fertility treatments available. The procedure includes three main steps:

  1. Tracking ovulation to find the most fertile period.

  2. Collecting and preparing semen to isolate healthy sperm.

  3. Inserting the sperm directly into the uterus.

Although couples can undergo IUI alone, combining it with a fertility program often improves success rates. Additionally, following medical guidance can further increase the chance of conception.

Who Can Benefit from IUI

IUI suits couples and individuals in these situations:

  • Male infertility such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or ejaculation issues

  • Cervical problems in women

  • Single women using donor sperm

  • Mild endometriosis

  • Couples wishing to avoid passing genetic disorders from the male partner

Benefits of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

  • Cost-effective compared to other ART options

  • Minimally invasive and generally painless

  • Reduces physical and emotional stress

  • Improves sperm quality and enhances chances of conception

Risks and Side Effects

IUI is a safe fertility procedure with minimal risks. Rarely, mild infection may occur, but doctors use sterile instruments to prevent this.
If ovulation-inducing medications are used, patients should know there is a small chance of multiple pregnancies (twins or more).

At Medical Art Center, we guide each patient through their fertility journey with expert care, practical advice, and compassionate support to help families grow successfully.
