About Intra-Uterine Insemination(IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination is an assistedreproductive technology. This is a procedurewhere the eggs of the lady are notmanipulated to increase the chances ofconceiving. In this procedure a catheter isused to place a defined number of washedsperms into the uterus directly. In thisprocedure, the primary aim is to increase thenumber of sperms that make their way intothe fallopian tubes. As a result, the process ofIUI is an effective way to increase the chancesof pregnancy.

When is intrauterine insemination used?

Intrauterine Insemination is a process used in specific

conditions to increase the chances of pregnancy. Usually,

when a couple is unable to conceive even after one year,

this process is suggested if the following conditions are

observed:

The reason of infertility is unexplained and not defined.

The sperm count is lower than normal

The sperms display low mobility

The cervix presents unfavorable conditions like excessive

thickness

The couple requires a sperm donor in order to conceive

The man suffers from ED

The cervix has developed scar tissues due to some surgical

procedure or endometriosis.

The actual procedure

The procedure is very simple as it does not require any manipulation of the egg. As a result, even when a woman is not receiving any medication for better egg production, the procedure can be conducted.

The first step is the ultrasound that is conducted to determine the size of the follicles. In order to stimulate the release of eggs, hCG or the Human Chronic Gonadotropin hormone. Following that a semen sample is washed to separate the sperms from the seminal fluid. These washed sperms are injected directly into the uterus using a catheter. That way, the number of sperms placed directed towards the fallopian tube can be controlled to increase the chances of conception.

The actual procedure

The entire process causes very little discomfort. It is quite time consuming, however. After this process, it is important to watch for the signs of pregnancy to administer any further procedure or medication. Most doctors advice women to take ovary stimulating medication to improve egg production.

Is IUI successful? The success rate of IUI is determined by the age of the women undergoing the process. If the woman is aged 35 years or younger, the success rate of IUI is between 10-20% per cycle. The other factors that determine the success rate of the procedure are the health of the sperms used and the health of the lady undergoing the procedure.

Risks involved in IUI

Like most fertility procedures, IUI is also prone to certain risks. The primary risks involve reactions to the prescribed drugs. In case of multiple births as a result of artificial procedures, there may be health risks to the child and the mother. Multiple births itself is one risk involved with artificial processes and people have greater chances of having twins or triplets. The health of the child conceived artificially needs to be monitored carefully to reduce chances of any risk.
