What is IUI Treatment? (About IUI Procedure)

Infertility issues impact several individuals and couples each year, making it difficult for them to live their dream of experiencing parenthood. Several treatments are now available for couples and individuals who wish to conceive, out of which Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is considered a popular and reliable solution. This infertility treatment involves a direct transfer of sperm into the female partner’s uterus. When a couple tries to conceive through intercourse, only a few sperm actually reach the egg. The number of sperm that will reach the egg depends on several factors, including the reproductive health of both the male and the female partner. Therefore, in an IUI procedure, fertility specialists derive some healthy sperm and directly place them into the uterus to facilitate fertilization. This simplifies the process and helps couples and individuals have biological children.

The IUI procedure is considered one of the most effective and reliable infertility treatments available presently, which is also less invasive than its counterparts, such as In Vitro Fertilization or IVF.

IUI Treatment - Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnosis – IUI Treatment

The Ob-Gynecologists at Pristyn Care are well-experienced in conducting thorough diagnoses to provide the best suitable IUI treatment to the patient. There are a few diagnostic tests the gynecologist may recommend to detect the underlying cause of infertility:

  • Blood test
  • Laparoscopy
  • X-ray HSG
  • Transvaginal ultrasound
  • Hysteroscopy

IUI Procedure

IUI fertility treatment is done at a specialized fertility clinic. If you rely on a sperm donor for the process, the donor sperm will be thawed and prepared. If you are using your partner’s sperm, his semen will first be evaluated. The male partner can also use semen from a sterile home collection kit but should get the semen to the clinic within one hour of collection. It is to be noted that the collected semen is stored at room temperature until it reaches the clinic.

In the clinic, the semen would go through a ‘washing’ procedure in order to remove all impurities from it, leaving only what is needed to get the female pregnant.

The female would have to lie down on her back, just the way for any cervical/ vaginal exam. The doctor uses a speculum to gently open the vagina. The ‘washed’ semen will then be placed inside the uterus through the catheter. Since the sperm is directly placed inside the uterus, there is no chance of the sperm falling out. However, you’ll remain reclined on the exam table for 10 to 30 minutes following the insemination.

In Our Doctor's Words

What-Dr. Shilpa Gupta KS-Say-About-IUI-Treatment

Dr. Shilpa Gupta KS

MBBS, MS - Obstetrics & Gynaecology, DNB, MRCOG (Part 1) FIRM

14 Years Experience

"More often than not, people directly start to consider IVF. This is perhaps because of its popularity in media and pop culture. But medically, the IUI, that is- intrauterine insemination is always the first course of action. It is simpler, cheaper and shows direct result in cases of mild male factor infertility, endometriosis-related problems or infertility because of cervix. This is why I'll suggest do not just blindly go for treatments. Do your research, tests and seek the root cause of infertility. Only that can decide the best assisted reproductive method for you."

How to prepare for IUI treatment?

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), in the simplest sense, is to place the concentrated and washed semen directly into a woman’s uterus.

This is why, for it to work, you need three essential factors:

  • Healthy semen
  • Healthy eggs
  • Healthy uterus

This is why, as you prepare for IUI, your infertility specialist consults you to run a few diagnostic tests to specifically understand the health condition of both partners and investigate their family’s medical history. We suggest you and your partner both take these tests simultaneously as they are essential to devise the right fertility plan best suited for you.

Another key factor in IUI is your body weight. Your body weight is a direct result of your hormones, health, and metabolism. And if any of it fluctuates, it affects your ovulation and quality of eggs and sperm production. This is why, if your body weight is not proportional to your height, we suggest you consciously work on it. Include some moderate exercises, slow yoga, and breathing exercises in your everyday life. Switch to a healthier diet and eat at the set and regular intervals. This would not help you achieve a healthy weight, but also train your body to produce the right hormones and fluids at the right time, thus preparing you for pregnancy.

Also, as the base rule, we suggest, the couple quits smoking, drinking, and recreational drugs along with a cut down on caffeinated products and packaged food. These not only affect your fertility but also raise unwanted anxiety and heart palpitations.

What are the diagnostic tests done for male partners before IUI?

Tests advised for male partners before IUI are as follows:

  • Semen analysis: As the name suggests, semen analysis is the lab test of your sperm sample. This is done to understand the health, quality, and motility of your sperm count.
  • Imaging tests: Imagining tests are the tests that use specialized ultra rays to print an internal image of the human body and note down any specific abnormality. For male infertility, these tests typically include ultrasound and MRI of male genital areas.
  • Hormone testing: The hormone testings are done to estimate the balance of testosterone and other male hormones in the male. If need be, your doctor could also refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist for this.
  • Testicular biopsy: In rare cases or for males in their late 40s, a testicular biopsy may be employed. This is done using a tissue sample from the male scrotum. The sample is then sent for a lab test for depth analysis on any particular abnormality or growth of abnormal cells in the male reproductive system
  • Genetic testing: As the name suggests, genetic testing is used to examine the presence of any contributing genetic defect to the couples infertility.

What are the diagnostic tests done for female partners before IUI?

Tests advised for female partners before IUI are as follows:

  • Blood tests: Blood tests are typically the first tests conducted to examine your health history and primary reasons for infertility. These test your hormone and thyroid levels and help filter any abnormalities
  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests such as pelvic ultrasound, MRI, and sonography are the second immediate tests to diagnose female infertility. This helps examine structural abnormalities in the uterus and ovaries of women. If need be, laparoscopy or hysteroscopy may be employed.
  • X-ray hysterosalpingogram (HSG): HSG test is done to examine any structural blockages in the fallopian tubes. For this, your OB-GYN injects a clinically safe dye inside your cervical opening and monitors its movement through your fallopian tube.
  • Ovulation testing: Ovulation test is a simple blood test done to determine if you are ovulating or not. Based on the same, your OB-GYN puts you on ovulation drugs.
  • Test for ovarian reserve: As the name suggests, ovarian reserve tests help examine the number of eggs available in your ovaries for ovulation. For the same, your doctor does a few hormone testings at the beginning of your menstrual cycle.
  • Endometrial Biopsy- Endometrial biopsy is a definitive test done to check any abnormalities in the endometrial lining of the female uterus. For this, your OBGYN uses a tissue sample of your uterine lining and sends it for a lab test.

Step-by-Step Procedure of IUI in Chengalpattu?

IUI is a comprehensive artificial reproductive technology that typically begins with the start of your menstruation and ends with a pregnancy test. This is usually a 2-3 weeks process and follows the following steps:

  • Infertility consultation and diagnostics: As the first step, your OB-GYN first listens to your individual struggle with infertility, medical health, family history and suggests corresponding diagnostics. With the test results of both partners, your infertility specialist lists down the possible fertility options, their process, risks, and success rates. This then proceeded with a guideline on lifestyle and dietary changes along with a list of dos and donts and support on mental health.
  • Tracking of egg production and ovulatory drugs: If the tests identify problems with your ovulation, the OB-GYN recommends fertility drugs (either injected directly in the stomach or given as a pill for the next 8-12 days) to stimulate the egg production.
  • Ultrasound and monitoring of the blood: As the ovulation amplifies, you are required to visit your clinic/ hospital every 2-3 days. Here your OB-GYN monitors your egg development through hormone tests and ultrasounds. Based on the same, you decide the best time for IUI.
  • Sperm harvesting: Then, based on the results of male infertility tests, you decide if you will use your partners semen sample or donor eggs. You also get to choose between fresh sperms or frozen sperms. In case you go ahead with fresh sperms, the male partner needs to produce it at the fertility clinic by masturbating. As for frozen sperms, they are defrosted and washed to get a clean and concentrated sample.
  • Insertion of sperm: This is less than a 10-minute step. For this, once the female is ready with ovulation, the OBGYN places the washed and concentrated sperm sample directly into her uterus. While the process is short and quick, it may cause slight cramps and discomfort. However, this shall slowly ease as you rest.
  • 2 weeks waiting period: This period is slightly critical. This is why, as you wait for successful insemination, it is best you keep your mind light, the body active, and diet perfectly healthy.
  • Pregnancy test: This is the final step of the IUI treatment. Here your doctor checks for pregnancy through HCG and blood tests. If the process turns successful, the pregnancy is monitored. If not, you and your doctor decide to either repeat the entire procedure or choose an alternate line of treatment such as IVF
