IUI in Iran




Fertility depends on many factors such as the couple's age, development of healthy eggs, healthy fallopian tubes, sperm quality, healthy uterus, frequent sexual intercourse, etc. If there is a problem with any of the mentioned factors, the couple may need to use assisted reproductive technology to have a child. 

Intrauterine insemination or IUI is one of the most popular and practical assisted reproduction methods.

What Is IUI?

Intrauterine insemination is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure through which a male's sperm is inserted directly into a woman's uterus. During IUI, donated sperms or samples of sperm received from the patient's partner are washed and inserted directly into the uterus so that the sperm is in the closest

position to the egg. IUI is relatively less invasive and cheaper than other methods of assisted reproduction, including IVF.

The success rate of IUI depends on several factors, the most important of which are the doctor’s experience and the clinic’s facilities. In Iran, more than 50 clinics offer good medical services for infertile couples at a reasonable price.

The IUI operation is relatively simple and painless and performed without anesthesia. An ultrasound is performed on the second or third day of menstruation to check the ovaries and uterus condition.

In the next step, healthy and motile sperms are separated from the rest of the semen specimen, and then they are inserted into the uterus using a narrow tube called a catheter.
