WHAT?

Intrauterine Insemination is an assisted, simple, non-invasive, cost effective and first line conception treatment for some patients. The procedure involves depositing of “washed” semen sample in the upper part of the uterine cavity by a thin cannula/catheter, thus, shortening the distance the sperm has to travel to reach the egg. The procedure includes Controlled stimulation of follicles (eggs) by oral drugs or injectable, follicle study (growth/ progress of eggs), timed rupture and timed insemination of sperm.

HOW?

The patient should visit the doctor on the first or second day of her period. Stimulation medication will be prescribed, which should be taken as advised without missing or skipping any dose. She has to follow up after every 2 or 3 days for follicle study (eggs). Once the follicle (egg/s) grows as per the desired size, injection for the rupture of the follicle will be given and the time for IUI will be informed to the patient.

ON THE DAY OF PROCEDURE:

The couple will report on the given time to the clinic. The patient is asked to make her bladder full for easy access to cervix and thus the smooth passage of the catheter into the uterine cavity. In the given time, the donor sperm sample is processed and functional motile sperm are separated. These sperm are now ready to be inseminated into the uterine cavity.

POST IUI CARE:

The patient is allowed to rest for 15-20 minutes post insemination and discharged. The drugs given post procedure should be consumed accordingly. There is no compulsion of complete bed rest, dietary implications or any extra care after IUI. Lots of fluid intake is advised.
