Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a simple, minimally invasive procedure in which washed and sorted sperm is placed directly into the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. By helping a higher number of healthy sperm reach the fallopian tubes at the time of ovulation, IUI can improve the chances of fertilization. This treatment is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or cervical issues, and is typically performed in conjunction with fertility medications to further support ovulation and timing. IUI is also a valuable option for single parents by choice and LGBTQIA+ individuals or couples using donor sperm, offering an accessible pathway to family building.
Because it is less complex and more affordable than other assisted reproductive technologies, IUI is often considered an excellent first step before moving to more advanced treatments in the appropriate patients. The procedure itself is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.
