Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a widely used fertility treatment that helps increase the chances of pregnancy by placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation. This short, non-invasive procedure is ideal for couples facing mild infertility issues and is often recommended before IVF.
At our Hyderabad fertility clinic, IUI is performed with advanced monitoring, experienced fertility specialists, and personalized care to maximize success.
What Is IUI?
IUI involves inserting washed and concentrated sperm into the uterus at the most fertile time of the menstrual cycle. This shortens the distance sperm must travel to reach the egg and improves fertilization chances.
