IUI is Intrauterine Insemination where the husband’s semen/donor’s semen is washed to remove the debris, pus cells & bacteria & is slowly put Inside the uterine cavity by the special catheter (Insemination canula). IUI the technique is a painless, simple, and OPD procedure. There is no need for sedation or anesthesia. It raises the odds of pregnancy because washing improves the quality of the sperm, medicine improves the quality of the egg, and the timing of insemination is set with the ovulation.
The ovaries are gently stimulated with pills or low-dose hormone injections, followed by ultrasound monitoring, until the follicles are mature enough to receive the HCG trigger. The goal is to encourage the release of only one or two eggs. Insemination will be timed once the day of ovulation has been predicted.
No, it is a time-tested procedure. Washing help in removing bacteria dead cells, pus cells, only. The couple can see the difference in the quality of sperm count by pre & post-wash analysis shown in the lab.
Although the time of insemination coincides with ovulation, the meeting of sperm with egg (fertilization), the transport of fertilized egg through the tube, its implantation in the uterus, and the continuation of pregnancy are all left to nature, resulting in a success rate of 15-18% worldwide; thus, IUI is offered sequentially for 4 to 6 cycles.
