Beat Infertility by Intra Uterine Insemination

What is IUI?

          
          IUI or Intrauterine insemination is a fertility treatment which involves a laboratory procedure to separate fast-moving sperm from low motile or non-moving sperm and placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. The main goal of IUI is to increase the chance of fertilization by increasing the number of sperms that reach the fallopian tubes. This can be performed with your partner’s sperm or donor sperm (known as donor insemination). You can approach Vijaya Fertility clinic because it's one of the Best Infertility Center in Kerala.

When is IUI used?

IUI may be selected as a fertility treatment for any of the following conditions:

• low sperm count or low sperm mobility.

• Unexplained infertility

• A hostile cervical condition like cervical mucus problems

• Cervical scar tissue which may hinder the ability of sperm to enter the uterus 

• Ejaculation dysfunction

How is IUI performed? 

The following are the steps of IUI Procedure.

• At First, the woman will be  given medications to stimulate development of multiple eggs. Then the insemination is timed to coincide with release of the eggs (ovulation).

• Man will be asked to produce a semen specimen after 2-5 days of abstinence from ejaculation.

• The sperm will be separated from the other components of the semen and concentrated in a small volume by using a process called Sperm processing or Sperm Washing.

• The cervical area is gently cleaned and a speculum is placed in the vagina.

• The highly motile sperm of washed specimen is placed either in the cervix or uterine cavity using a sterile flexible catheter. 

• The process of placing the sperm in the cervix is known as intracervical insemination or ICI and in the uterine cavity is known as intrauterine insemination, IUI.

Why Delay in Getting Pregnant ?

Infertility is common for both male and female. For fertility female age and health are considered as main factors. Having regular unprotected sex with the partner after marriage is the best choice of early pregnancy. Even after having coitus as said above when a young woman misses her pregnancy, then she definitely needs the consultation from an infertility specialist. 

If a woman already had multiple surgeries for problems like endometriosis then she should not wait for one year and she must consult the doctor as early as possible to achieve pregnancy. In the case of aged women who are more than 35 years should immediately get an appointment from obstetrics and gynecologist. Women, who have Body Mass Index (BMI) more than 30, may increase the chances of infertility, repeated abortions, irregular periods and anovulation.

Assisted Reproductive technology (ART)
 

It is otherwise called artificial insemination or test tube baby in which the sperms and egg are taken out of the body and in a sterile culture lab where the embryo is formed. IVF and ICSI are the two prominent protocols to treat infertility.
 

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is generally preferred to the women who have endometriosis, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes where the egg and sperm cannot meet each other. In this procedure, a woman is administered with hormones for proper ovulation. Once the ovum is formed it is retried and injected with sperm, kept in the lab for 3-5 days for embryo formation. After the embryo formation, it is placed in the woman’s uterus to achieve a successful pregnancy.
 

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a procedure done for male infertility. In this procedure, the mature egg is held with a specialized pipette. A sharp, hollow needle is used to pick the quality sperm and then the quality sperm is inserted through the egg shell and into the egg’s cytoplasmic area. After injecting the sperm into cytoplasm the needle is removed. The eggs are regularly checked out for the normal fertilization.
