Understanding the Procedure & Clinical Approach
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is an effective, non-invasive fertility treatment often recommended as an initial therapeutic option for couples experiencing mild subfertility. The procedure involves separating fast-moving, healthy sperm from seminal fluid and placing them directly into the uterus close to the fallopian tubes at the exact time of ovulation.
By bypassing cervical mucus barriers and shortening the travel distance, IUI significantly enhances the likelihood of natural fertilization within the reproductive tract.
Step-by-Step Treatment Protocol
Cycle Tracking & Follicular Monitoring
Follicle development is monitored via ultrasound in either a natural menstrual cycle or supported with mild oral ovulation inducers.
Triggering Ovulation
When the leading follicle reaches 18-20mm, a precise hCG trigger shot is administered to synchronize ovulation within 36 hours.
Sperm Washing & Concentration
In our laboratory, density gradient centrifugation separates the highest quality, most active motile sperm into a purified solution.
Painless Insemination
Using a fine, flexible catheter, the concentrated sperm is gently infused into the uterine cavity. The procedure takes under 5 minutes without any anaesthesia.

How many IUI cycles are usually recommended?
Most clinical guidelines suggest 3 to 4 well-monitored IUI cycles before considering advanced interventions such as IVF.
