IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
A simple, safe and effective fertility procedure designed to increase the chances of conception with professional guidance and precise techniques.
IUI provides a more natural and low-intervention approach to help couples move closer to pregnancy.
What IUI Is
IUI is a fertility treatment where washed and prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation. This short procedure reduces the distance sperm must travel and improves the chances of meeting the egg naturally. It’s one of the most commonly recommended treatments for couples starting their fertility journey.
The IUI Process With Dr. Shilpa Sood
Step 1: Cycle Monitoring
Tracking ovulation with scans and hormone testing to pinpoint the ideal timing.
Step 2: Semen Preparation
The sperm sample is washed and concentrated to select the healthiest, most active sperm.
Step 3: Insemination
Using a thin, soft catheter, the prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus.
The procedure takes only a few minutes and requires no anesthesia.
Step 4: Post-Procedure Care
You can resume normal activities immediately. A pregnancy test is advised after two weeks.
