Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) Treatment

In natural conception, sperm must swim through the cervix and vagina, where many perish. In IUI, laboratory preparation removes seminal fluid and isolates the fastest, healthiest sperm, placing them right where fertilization can occur inside the fallopian tubes.

Compared to IVF, IUI is simpler, significantly more affordable, does not require surgical egg retrieval under anesthesia, and does not involve laboratory embryo creation. Fertilization occurs naturally inside the mother's body.

IUI is virtually painless and requires no anesthesia. The insemination is performed using an ultra-thin, flexible catheter gently guided through the cervix into the uterus. Most women describe the sensation as identical to a routine Pap smear or light pelvic exam.

The entire procedure takes only 5 to 10 minutes. You rest for 15 minutes afterward and can immediately drive home and resume normal daily activities.

Most reproductive guidelines recommend undergoing 3 to 4 well-timed IUI cycles. Statistical data demonstrates that the vast majority of successful IUI conceptions happen within the first three attempts.

If pregnancy has not occurred after 3 to 4 cycles, Dr. R. Sravya will conduct a detailed case review to discuss transitioning to IVF or ICSI, which provides significantly higher success rates for persistent difficulties.

At Riya Fertility Centre in Kurnool, our single-cycle IUI success rate ranges from 15% to 20% for women under 35 years old. Over a course of 3 consecutive cycles, cumulative pregnancy rates reach 40% to 50%.

Success depends on factors like maternal age, ovulation quality, post-wash motile sperm count, and fallopian tube health. Our careful follicular ultrasound monitoring ensures ideal timing for peak success.
