Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

It is a treatment modality where a prepared sample of stronger sperm is inserted into the uterus using a fine plastic catheter, close to the time of ovulation. Additionally, the woman is in some cases, given medication to help her ovulate.

IUI is useful if:

• You are having difficulty with intercourse
• Unexplained infertility of relatively short duration
• Minor problems with the semen samples
• Mild endometriosis (a condition in which cells that normally line the womb are found elsewhere in the body)
• You are using a donor sperm
