Advanced Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) by Dr. Sapna Basandani
Take the First Step Towards Parenthood with IUI at Anmol Fertility Center
Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, but with modern fertility treatments, achieving pregnancy has become possible for many. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is one of the most commonly recommended fertility treatments for couples experiencing mild infertility. It is a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure that increases the chances of fertilization by placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation.
At Anmol Fertility Center, Jaipur, Dr. Sapna Basandani provides personalized IUI treatment using advanced fertility evaluation, ovulation monitoring, and evidence-based reproductive care to help couples achieve their dream of becoming parents.
What is IUI?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment in which healthy, motile sperm are carefully processed in the laboratory and placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This shortens the distance the sperm need to travel, improving the likelihood that sperm will meet the egg for fertilization.
IUI is less invasive and more affordable than IVF and may be recommended as an initial treatment option for selected couples.
Who May Benefit from IUI?
IUI may be recommended for couples with:
A thorough fertility evaluation is essential to determine whether IUI is the right treatment option.
Benefits of IUI Treatment
Minimally Invasive Procedure
IUI is a simple procedure that does not require surgery or hospitalization.
Natural Fertilization
Fertilization occurs naturally inside the fallopian tube after insemination.
Short Procedure
The insemination procedure usually takes only a few minutes.
Cost-Effective Fertility Treatment
Compared with IVF, IUI is generally a more affordable fertility treatment option for suitable candidates.
Personalized Fertility Care
Each IUI cycle is planned according to the patient’s ovulation pattern, medical history, and fertility diagnosis.
The IUI Treatment Process
Step 1: Fertility Consultation
Dr. Sapna Basandani performs a detailed evaluation of both partners, including medical history, hormone tests, ultrasound, semen analysis, and other fertility investigations.
Step 2: Ovulation Monitoring
Natural or medication-assisted ovulation is monitored through ultrasound scans and, when needed, blood tests to identify the optimal time for insemination.
Step 3: Semen Collection and Preparation
A semen sample is collected and processed in the laboratory to concentrate healthy, motile sperm while removing impurities.
Step 4: Insemination
The prepared sperm are placed directly into the uterus using a thin, soft catheter. The procedure is usually quick and causes little or no discomfort.
Step 5: Pregnancy Test
A blood pregnancy test is typically performed about two weeks after the IUI procedure to determine whether conception has occurred.
