Intrauterine insemination, or IUI, at Mamta Women's & Multispeciality Hospital on Aai Mata Road, Parvat Patiya. A simpler and less expensive fertility treatment than IVF, suitable for some couples but not all.
Couples often arrive believing IVF is the only option. For some it is. But where the tubes are open and the sperm report is only mildly affected, there is a simpler step worth trying first, and it costs a fraction of what IVF does.
IUI places prepared sperm directly into the uterus at the time an egg is released. It removes the journey the sperm would otherwise have to make through the cervix, which puts more healthy sperm closer to the egg.
It is a short outpatient procedure. There is no anaesthesia, no cut, and most women return to normal activity the same day.
IUI only works if the fallopian tubes are open and there is enough healthy sperm to work with. Both of those have to be confirmed before a cycle is planned, which is why the evaluation comes first.
A semen report that is somewhat below normal in count or movement, but not severely so.
Where cervical mucus or a cervical problem is making it hard for sperm to get through.
IUI is often combined with tablets or injections that help release an egg reliably, including in PCOS.
Where every test is normal, IUI is a reasonable first treatment before moving to IVF.
Any one of these is reason enough to book. You do not need all of them.
Hormone tests, a sonography, a check that the tubes are open, and a semen analysis. IUI is only planned once the tubes are confirmed open.
Tablets or small injections may be used to help an egg mature. Two or three sonography visits track when it will be released.
On the day, a semen sample is washed and concentrated in the laboratory, so the healthiest and most active sperm are used.
A thin soft catheter passes the prepared sperm into the uterus. It takes a few minutes, feels similar to a routine internal examination, and needs no anaesthesia.
A pregnancy test about two weeks later. You are told what the result means and what the next step would be either way.
Dr. Mukesh Baldaniya (M.B.B.S., M.B. (DGO)) leads this care at the hospital.

We confirm a time and tell you what to bring, and whether a scan can be done in the same visit.
After the consultation you leave with a written plan, a follow-up date, and a number to call if something changes.
Most women describe it as mild cramping, similar to a routine internal examination or a period cramp, lasting a few minutes. No anaesthesia is needed. If it hurts more than that, tell the doctor, because it usually means the catheter needs repositioning.
Usually three to four. Beyond that, the chance of IUI working does not improve much, and continuing mainly delays a decision. Your doctor should tell you at the start how many cycles are planned and what happens after them.
Yes, in almost all cases. You will be asked to rest for a short while at the hospital straight after, and then you can carry on normally. There is no evidence that lying down for days improves the result.
