Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple and effective fertility treatment that enhances natural conception by increasing the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes. It is commonly recommended for couples facing unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or ovulation-related challenges. This procedure is less invasive and more affordable than In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), making it a preferred first-line treatment for many couples.

Dr. Chaitali Taware’s IUI service is designed to maximize success by carefully monitoring the patient’s ovulation cycle and optimizing sperm quality. The process begins with an in-depth consultation to assess fertility potential. Women may undergo ovulation induction using medications to encourage the development of mature eggs, which are tracked through ultrasound monitoring.

On the day of the procedure, a semen sample is collected from the male partner or a donor. The sample is then processed in the laboratory using sperm washing techniques to remove impurities and concentrate the healthiest sperm. This increases the chances of successful fertilization.

During the IUI procedure, the prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes. Since the sperm is placed closer to the fallopian tubes, the chances of it meeting the egg and resulting in fertilization are significantly improved.

After the procedure, patients are advised to rest briefly before resuming their normal activities. A pregnancy test is conducted after 10 to 14 days to determine success. In cases where pregnancy does not occur, the process can be repeated or adjusted as needed.

IUI offers several benefits, including a less invasive approach compared to IVF, reduced treatment costs, and minimal side effects. It is an excellent option for couples who have been trying to conceive without success but do not yet require advanced assisted reproductive techniques.
