The experts at Rainbow Hospital, BirthRight, consider all unique aspects influencing your situation, formulating a customized plan that optimizes the likelihood of success.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) is a fertility treatment in which washed sperm - from a male partner or donor-is placed directly into a woman's uterus through a thin catheter around the time of ovulation, to improve the chances of fertilisation. IUI is typically recommended when natural conception has not occurred or when the male partner has a low sperm count.
The IUI process involves four key steps: ovarian stimulation, semen collection, sperm washing, and intrauterine insemination via catheter.In most IUI procedures, women may receive medication to stimulate egg development, especially if ovulation issues are involved. A semen sample is collected and processed through sperm washing to remove dead sperm and other substances that may cause uterine cramps. The washed sperm is then inserted into the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure takes about 5-10 minutes, and patients can usually resume normal activities afterward.
It is important to time any insemination at ovulation and at least within 6 hours of ovulation. Once ovulation takes place, eggs can be fertilized for only the next 12-24 hours. Hence, IUIs have to be timed to ensure the presence of sperm during the release of eggs.
Before starting IUI treatment, patients must undergo specific tests, including a fallopian tube patency test and hormonal assessments (LH, FSH, progesterone, and estrogen). The male partner providing semen must also be tested for infectious diseases. Donor sperm must be screened for infectious diseases before insemination can proceed.
The success of IUI treatment depends on several clinical factors:
Cause of infertility
Duration of infertility
Use of any ovarian stimulation drugs to stimulate ovulation
Quality and number of motile sperms
Will the process cause any discomfort?
In most cases, the woman finds IUI to be more or less painless, as there is hardly any discomfort caused by the catheter. You might experience certain cramps afterward, although it is usually related to ovulation more than the IUI process itself.
Generally, women can have sexual intercourse at any point of time after undergoing IUI. However, you may be recommended to wait for a couple of days before having sex if there is any kind of complication or bleeding during the IUI process.
Light bleeding after IUI is not uncommon and can occur if there was a minor complication during the procedure or if the patient is ovulating. In most cases it is minor and resolves without intervention. Patients should consult their fertility specialist if bleeding is heavy or prolonged.
IUI treatment with a male partner's sperm typically results in pregnancy within the first three attempts.The chances of getting pregnant successfully decrease after the third attempt and decreases even further after the fourth or fifth unsuccessful attempt. Hence, it is generally recommended to undergo IUI treatment for at most three or four attempts. However, trying more IUI cycles may be necessary if the infertility is caused because of a lack of ovulation.
BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals offers IUI treatment across 9 cities in India - Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Warangal, Guwahati, and Rajahmundry. Patients can book an online consultation or schedule an in-person visit with a fertility specialist at the nearest location through the BirthRight website.
BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals provides affordable IUI treatment across its network of 25+ clinics in 9 cities in India. Patients benefit from paperless documentation, same-day consultations, and personalised treatment plans - Natural IUI, Clomid and IUI, and Fertility Medication and IUI - designed to reduce unnecessary procedures and associated costs.
BirthRight by Rainbow Hospitals offers three types of IUI treatment: Natural IUI (without medication), Clomid and IUI (oral ovulation stimulation), and Fertility Medication and IUI (injectable gonadotropins). The recommended type depends on the patient's hormonal profile, cycle regularity, and diagnosed cause of infertility.
IUI treatment is generally not painful. The catheter insertion through the cervix is minimally invasive, and most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild cramping afterward is typically associated with ovulation rather than the IUI process itself.
The success rate of IUI treatment depends on the woman's age, cause and duration of infertility, use of ovarian stimulation medications, and the quality and count of motile sperm. Patients are advised to discuss individual success probabilities with their BirthRight fertility specialist before beginning treatment.
