IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a commonly used fertility treatment that helps improve the chances of pregnancy in couples facing infertility. In this procedure, specially prepared and concentrated sperm are placed directly into the uterus, bringing them closer to the egg. This increases the likelihood of fertilization and is often referred to as artificial insemination. IUI is usually performed around the time of ovulation, when the ovary releases an egg. The goal is for the sperm to travel through the fallopian tube and fertilize the egg naturally. The treatment can be done in a natural cycle or combined with fertility medications to support egg development, depending on the individual’s condition. This procedure is simple, minimally invasive, and does not require anesthesia. IUI is often recommended for mild male infertility, ovulation-related issues, unexplained infertility, or when timing intercourse becomes difficult. A fertility specialist plans the procedure carefully based on the menstrual cycle and medical needs of the patient.
