One of the simplest forms of infertility treatment, the main task of which is to increase the number of sperm that reach the egg and fertilize it independently, is intrauterine insemination (IUI).
It involves transfer of the sperm into the uterine cavity to facilitate fertilization.
⠀
Treatment using IUI may be recommended in the following cases:
🔺infertility of unclear genesis
🔺ovulation factor infertility
🔺cervical factor infertility
🔺female immunological reactions to sperm
🔺male subfertility
⠀
How to prepare❓
This procedure requires clear preparation, which includes:
🔺 preparation of a sperm sample. For IUI, we can use your partner’s sperm, which he will provide directly at our medical center, or use frozen sperm or donor sperm.
Then the ejaculate will undergo a special treatment to separate the highly active sperm from the low-quality sperm and to release the sperm from the immature elements, which in turn can cause an allergic reaction.
🔺 observation of ovulation. The timing of IUI plays a major role, so it is very important to monitor for appearance of signs of expected ovulation.
🔺selection of the optimal time for the procedure. Most IUI procedures are performed in a day or two after the onset of ovulation. To do this, our doctor will draw up a scheme that you will clearly follow and comply the recommendations provided to you.
⠀
The stages of IUI:
🔻The first stage. Appointment with a gynecologist, during which an ultrasound examination will be performed, if necessary – a procedure to determine the patency of the fallopian tubes, and other tests.
The partner needs to do a semen analysis.
⠀
🔻The second stage. The partner must provide the semen on the day of the IUI procedure. Then the doctor using a soft thin catheter through the cervical canal will insert previously prepared semen into the uterine cavity.
