Many couples are unable to conceive naturally. There are many reasons as well as treatments for this situation. One of the treatments is intrauterine insemination (IUI).
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) — a type of artificial insemination — is a procedure for treating infertility.
The male partner provides sperm or donor sperm is processed in the laboratory. The procedure involves washing the sperm to remove debris and immobile sperm. Also, substances, that may cause severe cramping, are removed.
Sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly in your uterus around the time your ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized.
