Fertility Treatment • Mysuru
A gentle, precisely timed first step toward conception.
A gentle, minimally invasive fertility procedure that places concentrated, healthy sperm directly into the uterus at peak ovulation.
What is it?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus close to the time of ovulation, increasing the chance of sperm reaching the egg.
Who may benefit?
- •Mild male-factor infertility
- •Unexplained infertility
- •Ovulatory disorders being treated with medication
- •Same-sex couples or single patients using donor sperm
- •Cervical-factor infertility
When is it considered?
IUI is often considered as an earlier-stage option before more involved treatments, particularly when fallopian tubes are open and sperm quality is adequate.
How It Works
The treatment journey.
Cycle Monitoring
Ultrasound and sometimes medication are used to track or stimulate ovulation.
Sperm Preparation
A semen sample is processed in the laboratory to concentrate healthy, motile sperm.
Insemination
The prepared sample is placed into the uterus using a thin catheter — a quick, generally painless procedure.
Follow-up
A pregnancy test is scheduled roughly two weeks later.
Preparation
Cycle tracking, and in some cases mild ovulation-stimulating medication, precedes the procedure itself.
During Treatment
The insemination itself takes only a few minutes and does not usually require sedation.
Afterwards
Most patients resume normal activity immediately, with a pregnancy test scheduled roughly two weeks after the procedure.
Possible risks & limitations
IUI carries a lower complication risk than IVF, though success rates per cycle are also generally lower; your doctor will discuss what to expect based on your individual factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
This depends on individual circumstances and is discussed with your doctor — some patients move to IVF earlier depending on age or diagnosis.
