Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

IUI Treatment in Chembur

When natural conception does not occur despite the couple trying for more than 6month to a year, IUI is a simple procedure which can help couples to conceive. IUI increases the pregnancy rate by 10 to 20% over the natural cycle. The fallopian tubes in the woman have to be patent and the husband’s sperm count should be near normal or have only mild abnormailties. In IUI, the fertilization of the sperm and the egg happens in the woman’s body.
