IUI(Intrauterine Insemination)
Simple Steps Toward Parenthood
with Care
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a simple, non-surgical fertility treatment that helps increase the chances of pregnancy. It involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation, helping the sperm reach the egg more efficiently. IUI is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or cervical issues. It's a cost-effective and less invasive alternative to IVF, offering hope to many couples. At Jaiswal Hospital, IUI is performed with precision, care, and personalized support to maximize success.

FAQS
Guiding Your Parenthood Journey with Safe, Simple Fertility Solutions
Blood tests, ultrasound, and semen analysis help assess fertility health. These ensure proper timing, rule out infections, and determine if IUI is the right option for conception.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle, reduce stress, and follow any medication or ovulation tracking instructions given by your doctor to optimize your body for a successful IUI cycle.
Fertility medications like Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole stimulate ovulation. Sometimes hCG injections are used to trigger egg release, helping time the IUI procedure for optimal success.
IUI is usually quick and painless, similar to a Pap smear. You may feel mild cramping or discomfort, but anesthesia or sedation is not typically required.
Rest briefly after the procedure. Resume normal activities unless advised otherwise. Continue medications if prescribed, and avoid heavy exercise or stress during the two-week wait.
A blood or urine pregnancy test is typically done 14 days after IUI. Testing too early may lead to inaccurate results due to lingering fertility hormones.
