Welcome to another episode of Fertility Focus! In this video, Dr. Rhythm Gupta and embryologist Dr. Gaurav Kant discuss the fertility treatment called Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). They discuss its process, benefits, challenges and compare it with other treatments like IVI and IVF. If you're a couple looking to explore fertility options, this video will provide clear answers to many common questions and concerns.
Discussions and revelations in this podcast:
✅What is IUI?
IUI is a fertility procedure where washed and concentrated sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation to increase chances of pregnancy.
✅How is IUI different from natural conception?
In IUI, the sperm is placed directly in the uterus, skipping the cervix, improving the chances compared to natural intercourse.
✅What’s the difference between IUI, IVI, and IVF?
IUI places sperm directly in the uterus, IVI places sperm in the vagina without washing, and IVF involves fertilising eggs in a lab.
✅Who should consider IUI?
Couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or those who need donor sperm can consider IUI.
✅Who should avoid IUI?
IUI is not suitable for women with blocked fallopian tubes or men with extremely low sperm counts.
✅Can IUI prevent the transmission of HIV?
Yes, IUI can reduce the risk of HIV transmission from an infected male partner to a female partner by preparing and washing the sperm sample.
✅How many IUI cycles should be done before trying something else?
Typically, up to 3 IUI cycles are recommended before moving to more advanced treatments like IVF.
✅Why does IUI fail?
IUI may fail due to issues like poor egg or sperm quality, improper timing, or fertilisation problems, which can't be fully controlled.
✅How can IUI success rates be improved?
Success can be improved with proper timing, stimulating more egg production, or using better sperm preparation techniques.
✅What is Double IUI, and does it increase success?
Double IUI involves doing two inseminations in one cycle, but its benefits are mostly seen with donor sperm and not in routine cases.
✅What is the cost of an IUI procedure?
The cost of IUI generally ranges between ₹20,000 to ₹25,000, depending on whether additional medications or donor sperm are used.
✅Is rest necessary after IUI?
Only 15 minutes of rest is advised post-IUI. Afterwards, normal daily activities can be resumed without restrictions.
✅How is sperm prepared for IUI?
Sperm is washed to concentrate the healthy, motile sperm and remove unnecessary components before being placed in the uterus.
✅Can sperm be collected at home for IUI?
Yes, sperm can be collected at home but must be kept at body temperature and delivered to the clinic within 30 minutes.
✅What happens if sperm is in the urine due to retrograde ejaculation?
In such cases, sperm can be recovered from the urine using a special procedure and then used for IUI.
IUI is a promising treatment for many couples trying to conceive, but it’s essential to understand the process, limitations, and when to move forward with advanced options like IVF.
