IUI Treatment In Hyderabad

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one of the options of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) used to tackle infertility in females and males. It is a kind of artificial insemination wherein the doctor inserts healthy sperm inside the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization of sperm with an egg produced by the ovary. This treatment is beneficial for couples or individual females who want to get pregnant or wish to give birth to a child.

Benefits of Intrauterine Insemination

  • A natural IUI cycle, which includes the use of a low ovulation stimulation drug to stimulate ovarian follicles, can be performed.
  • There is enhanced sperm quality because of the washing procedure. The washing done during IUI treatment helps remove antigenic proteins, prostaglandins, non-motile spermatozoa, infectious agents, leukocytes, and immature germ cells.
  • It is a less invasive, physiological treatment wherein there is no oocyte retrieval as done in IVF. As it is a gentler treatment than other alternatives, it provides less stress on the body.
  • In contrast to IVF treatment, IUI treatment in Hyderabad is less costly.
  • A painless procedure with a short recovery.
  • The length of a single IUI session is very short. The process lasts for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes after which the patient is asked to remain seated for a couple of more minutes.
  • IUI treatment is more effective than intracervical insemination as in IUI treatment, the sperm is directly placed into the uterus closer to the egg so fertilization is more likely.
  • With IUI treatment, the chance of conceiving is more than is possible with regular sex.
  • The treatment is a great way to understand how the body will react before going directly for treatments like IVF.

Before Intrauterine Insemination

Pre-testing is advised by the Intrauterine Inseminations Doctors in Hyderabad before recommending IUI treatment to a couple or individual female. This includes the ultrasound testing in a day gap during the mid-cycle and blood monitoring. It helps in tracking the number of eggs and their development and the time of ovulation to identify a fertile period for performing intrauterine insemination. To help stimulate egg growth and maturity, oral and injectable drugs for follicle growth are given to the female patient. The medication works in 10 to 12 days. A trigger shot is given for the release of the egg. The IUI procedure commences 24 to 36 hours after taking the trigger shots.

Intrauterine Insemination Procedure

The step-by-step procedure for IUI is as follows:

  • Collection and washing of semen- The male partner ejaculates semen which is collected and stored in the andrology lab. The semen is washed to obtain the healthiest, most motile sperm for transfer.
  • Insertion of the sperm directly into the uterus- The doctor first inserts a speculum in the patient’s cervix to view the opening of the uterus. A small tube called a catheter is inserted into the uterus to place the final semen sample.
  • Pregnancy test- This is done after two weeks of first IUI treatment. If the test result is negative, another IUI treatment is provided or the patient is recommended with another alternative.

Aftercare Intrauterine Insemination

Following the IUI procedure, the patient must avoid drinking alcohol, taking narcotics, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle by sleeping adequately, eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, and managing stress.
