Intrauterine Insemination ( IUI ). Intrauterine insemination ( IUI ) is a simple procedure that puts sperm directly inside your uterus, which helps healthy sperm get closer to your egg. IUI is considered the first-line treatment for unexplained infertility , mild endometriosis , or mild male factor infertility ..

IUI does two things:. Medication help stimulate the growth of eggs , making a woman more fertile than she would be without the medication. 2. The sperm is placed inside the uterine cavity via IUI Catheter , avoiding having to swim through the cervical opening and into the uterus on its own, allowing it to meet the egg more easily..

T he male partner will be asked to provide a semen sample by masturbation , into a sterile container at IVF clinic or at home. You should abstain from sex for 2 or 3 days before the procedure.

The insemination takes only a few minutes . A fertility specialist will place a speculum inside the vagina, insert a small catheter through the cervix into the uterine cavity, and inject the sperm through the catheter into the uterus..
