IUI treatment is one of the commonly advised fertility procedures for couples who are trying to conceive and need a simpler, less invasive assisted conception option before moving to more advanced treatment. At She Delhi, IUI is planned after careful evaluation of both partners so that the right patients receive the right treatment at the right time.
IUI stands for Intrauterine Insemination. In this procedure, a prepared sperm sample is placed directly inside the uterus around the time of ovulation. The aim is to improve the chances of fertilization by helping a higher concentration of motile sperm reach closer to the egg.
IUI is often considered in selected cases of mild male factor infertility, ovulation-related issues, unexplained infertility, cervical factors, or when timed conception support is required. It is usually recommended only after fertility work-up confirms that the fallopian tubes are open and that the couple is a suitable candidate.
A couple may be advised IUI in situations such as:
IUI is not ideal for everyone. If ovarian reserve is significantly low, tubes are blocked, sperm factors are severe, or age-related fertility decline is advanced, IVF may be a more appropriate option.
At She Delhi, the decision to move to IUI is made only after proper consultation and investigation.
IVF is not just a medical procedure — it’s a journey filled with hope, resilience, and emotional strength. For many, it represents a second chance at building the family they’ve always dreamed of. With supportive care and advanced technology, IVF continues to be a beacon of possibility in the field of reproductive health.

At She Delhi, the IUI process begins with history taking, hormonal review, ultrasound assessment, semen analysis, and tubal evaluation where needed.
The natural cycle may be monitored, or medications may be used to support follicle growth. Serial ultrasound helps determine the ideal time for ovulation.
When the follicle reaches maturity, a trigger may be given to time ovulation precisely.
On the day of the procedure, the semen sample is processed in a way that helps select motile sperm for insemination.
The prepared sample is gently introduced into the uterus using a fine catheter. The procedure is short and usually done without significant discomfort.
After insemination, medications may be prescribed depending on the cycle plan. Pregnancy testing is advised after the recommended wait.
IUI is less invasive and more affordable than IVF in selected cases. It can be a useful first-line assisted fertility treatment for the right patient profile. It is generally easier to plan, has a shorter treatment path, and can work well when the diagnosis is favourable.
However, success rates vary depending on age, diagnosis, egg quality, sperm quality, endometrial health, and duration of infertility. She Delhi focuses on patient selection and realistic counselling so that couples are not advised repeated ineffective cycles unnecessarily.
Not necessarily. IUI and IVF are used for different clinical situations. The right treatment depends on diagnosis, age, ovarian reserve, tubal status, and sperm quality.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, though some may feel mild cramping during or after the procedure.
This depends on age, diagnosis, and response. The doctor decides whether further IUI is worthwhile or whether IVF should be considered.
It may help in mild male factor infertility, but severe sperm issues may need IVF-ICSI.
At least one healthy, open tube is usually needed for IUI to be effective.
A pregnancy test is generally advised after the recommended waiting period given by the treating doctor.
