INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION (IUI)
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple, minimally invasive fertility treatment in which prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. It significantly increases the number of sperm reaching the fallopian tubes, improving the chances of natural fertilisation and a successful pregnancy.
Cure Tour For You connects patients with leading fertility specialists and accredited IVF and fertility centres offering expert IUI treatment using the latest monitoring technology and protocols. From your initial assessment through to pregnancy confirmation, our team provides compassionate, personalised support at every step of your fertility journey.
Conditions That May Benefit From IUI Treatment
IUI is recommended as a first-line fertility treatment for couples and individuals with mild fertility challenges where the fallopian tubes are open and the uterus is healthy.
Mild Male Factor Infertility
Mildly low sperm count or motility that reduces the chances of natural conception.
Ovulation Dysfunction
Irregular ovulation that can be corrected with mild stimulation medication alongside IUI.
Cervical Factor Infertility
Hostile cervical mucus preventing sperm from travelling through the cervix to reach the egg.
Unexplained Infertility
Couples unable to conceive naturally with no identifiable medical cause after full investigation.
Single Women & Same-Sex Couples
IUI with donor sperm offers a straightforward path to conception for those without a male partner.
Mild Endometriosis
Mild endometriosis where the fallopian tubes remain open and ovarian function is preserved.
Understanding IUI Treatment Options
IUI is a straightforward outpatient procedure that requires no anaesthesia and minimal recovery time. It can be performed in a natural cycle or alongside mild ovarian stimulation, and may use a partner's or donor's sperm depending on the patient's individual fertility needs and circumstances.
Natural Cycle IUI
IUI performed during the woman's natural menstrual cycle without the use of stimulation medication, tracking ovulation with ultrasound monitoring.
Stimulated IUI
Mild ovarian stimulation medication is used to encourage the development of one or two follicles, improving the chances of successful fertilisation.
IUI with Partner Sperm
The partner's sperm sample is washed and prepared in the laboratory to select the highest quality, most motile sperm for insemination.
IUI with Donor Sperm
Carefully screened and matched donor sperm is used for single women, same-sex couples, or where the partner's sperm is unsuitable for use.
