A Simple and Effective First Step Toward Parenthood

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one of the most commonly used assisted reproductive techniques, often recommended as a first-line treatment for couples facing infertility. It is a minimally invasive and relatively simple procedure in which specially prepared sperm is directly placed into the woman’s uterus during the time of ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.

IUI is especially helpful in cases of mild male infertility (low sperm count or motility), unexplained infertility, cervical factor infertility, or for single women and same-sex couples using donor sperm.

At Dr. Manjunath C Swamy’s fertility practice, IUI is performed with precision, timing, and utmost care. With over 15 years of experience in fertility management, Dr. Swamy ensures that each IUI cycle is carefully monitored to optimize the chances of conception.

How IUI Works:

1. The woman’s ovulation is tracked either naturally or with mild fertility medication.

2. On the day of ovulation, a semen sample is collected and “washed” in the lab to concentrate the healthiest sperm.

3. The sperm is then inserted into the uterus through a thin, flexible catheter—a painless and quick procedure.

4. The couple may continue normal activities the same day.

Why Choose IUI?

• Less invasive and more affordable than IVF

• Quick and painless outpatient procedure

• Minimal medication required in many cases

• Helps bypass cervical barriers and improve sperm delivery

• Often used in early stages of fertility treatment
