IUI Treatment in Visakhapatnam
A Simple Fertility Treatment to Help You Conceive
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple fertility treatment that helps sperm get closer to the egg at the right time in your cycle. During IUI, a well prepared sample of sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This gives healthy, fast moving sperm a shorter journey to reach the egg and may help to improve the chance of fertilization of the egg. The procedure is quick, usually does not require anaesthesia and you can normally return to your usual activities afterwards. Unlike IVF, fertilization still happens naturally inside your body.

What do I need to be able to undergo IUI?
It is essential that your fallopian tubes are known to be open (patent) and healthy before the IUI process begins. A tubal test is done for assessment.The typical method for assessing the health of your pelvis and the patency of your fallopian tubes is a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), a HyCosy or laparoscopy and dye testing. When the pelvis and tubes are healthy, fluid used in these tests passes freely through both tubes. The second essential requirement is that there is no significant problem with sperm numbers or sperm quality.
IUI options
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) involves a laboratory procedure to separate fast moving sperm from slower or dead sperm. The fast moving sperm are then placed into the woman’s womb close to the time of ovulation when the egg is released from the ovary in the middle of the monthly cycle.
