IUI Treatment

What is IUI Treatment?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a relatively simple and painless fertility treatment. High-quality, washed sperm are placed directly into the woman's uterus around the time her ovary releases one or more eggs. The goal is to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes, thereby significantly enhancing the chance of fertilization.
