Intrauterine insemination<\/h1><\/div>

Intrauterine insemination, also known as IUI, is one of the simplest and most common methods of assisted reproduction. It is a minimally invasive procedure, which can offer many couples the possibility to increase the chances of achieving pregnancy when the appropriate medical conditions are present.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

IUI may use a partner\u2019s sperm or donor sperm, depending on the medical history, needs, and indications. It may be suitable for couples with mild fertility problems, women with at least one patent fallopian tube, people who have difficulty with sexual intercourse, and women or couples who require donor sperm.
\nIUI is not appropriate in every case. It should be selected only after careful assessment, with clear information and realistic expectations.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

Intrauterine insemination<\/b> is a procedure in which a semen sample is prepared in the laboratory to select the most motile and suitable sperm cells.<\/p>\n

The prepared sample is then placed directly into the uterus through a very thin, soft catheter. This brings the sperm closer to the fallopian tubes, where fertilisation may occur.<\/p>\n

The procedure is brief, straightforward, and usually painless. It takes only a few minutes, requires no anaesthesia, and is similar to a routine gynaecological examination such as a cervical screening test.<\/p>\n

IUI may be performed in a natural cycle<\/b> or in a cycle with mild ovarian stimulation<\/b>, depending on the woman\u2019s history, age, ovulation, semen quality, and the couple\u2019s overall assessment.<\/p>\n

When may intrauterine insemination be recommended?<\/b><\/p>\n

IUI may be recommended when there is a recognised indication and a realistic chance of success.<\/p>\n

Common indications include:<\/p>\n
