Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one of the most commonly performed fertility treatments, especially for couples with mild infertility issues. It is a safe and minimally invasive procedure where specially prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus, increasing the chances of fertilization.

At Lavanya Fertility Centre, Tirupati, our team offers personalized IUI treatments with careful monitoring to maximize pregnancy success rates.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

IUI is often recommended for:

  • Couples with unexplained infertility.
  • Mild male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility).
  • Women with ovulatory disorders (irregular ovulation, PCOS).
  • Couples with cervical mucus problems.
  • Single women or same-sex couples using donor sperm.
  • Couples who are not yet ready for IVF but need assisted conception.

The IUI Procedure – Step by Step

  • Ovarian Stimulation (optional)
    – Mild fertility medication may be prescribed to stimulate egg development.
  • Monitoring
    – Ultrasound scans and hormone tests track follicle growth andendometrial thickness and identify the best time for egg release and insemination.
  • Semen Collection & Preparation
    – The sperm sample is collected and processed in the lab to select healthy, motile sperm.
  • Insemination
    – A thin, soft catheter is used to place the prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation.
  • Post-Procedure Rest
    – The patient rests briefly and can go home the same day. Normal routine can be resumed immediately.
