Dr Punam Dhawale is recognised as one of the leading and best IUI Treatment Specialist Doctor in Yerwada at Mrunmayee Clinic. IUI, or Intrauterine Insemination, is a fertility treatment where prepared sperm is placed directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization. The procedure involves collecting a sperm sample, washing it to concentrate the most active sperm, and then using a catheter to insert the sperm into the female's uterus. It is a minimally invasive and often more cost-effective option for various infertility issues and is often a first-line treatment. >>How the treatment works •Ovulation monitoring: A doctor will monitor the woman's ovulation cycle, sometimes using fertility drugs to stimulate or increase egg production. •Sperm preparation: A semen sample is provided and then “washed” to separate the healthy, motile sperm from the rest of the fluid. •Insemination: A thin tube called a catheter is inserted into the uterus, and a syringe is used to deposit the concentrated sperm directly inside. •Timeline: The procedure itself is quick, taking only a few minutes, and is followed by a pregnancy test about two weeks later. >>When is IUI used? •Unexplained infertility: When the cause of infertility is not clear. •Male infertility: For issues with low sperm count or low sperm motility. •Female infertility: In cases of cervical problems or ovulation dysfunction. •Other factors: It can also be used with donor sperm or when a couple wants to avoid a more complex procedure like IVF.
