IUI Treatment In Mumbai
IUI Overview
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an IVF technique that does not require egg retrieval but manually placing healthy sperm into the uterus. It differs from the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) technique, where both the sperms and eggs are retrieved and manually fused for assisted fertilization. It aims to increase the chances of natural pregnancy when a condition prevents sperms from reaching the eggs in the uterus or vise versa. This commonly includes disorders in the vaginal cervix, uterus, or fallopian tubes.
At Oma fertility center, our experts conduct exhaustive diagnostic tests on both partners to confirm their causes of infertility and strategically create an optimal and cost-effective treatment course. This ensures the highest success rate of pregnancy within a minimal budget and cycle time.
When is IUI Recommended?
IUI treatment can be recommended in both male and female infertility cases. It is also recommended for couples diagnosed with unknown infertility factors. Here’s a detailed list of indications for which our experts may recommend IUI as the best option.
- Male factor conditions that need IUI
- Low sperm count
- Poor sperm motility, i.e., the ability to swim and forcefully penetrate the egg
- Poor sperm morphology (the size and shape of sperm)
- Presence of allergic elements in the semen
- Erectile dysfunction (ED) or premature ejaculation
- Female factor conditions that need IUI
- Irregular ovulation or poor egg count during each ovulation
- PCOS or cervix scarring obstructing the sperm
- Diagnosis of cervical mucus problems or endometriosis
- Patent (open) fallopian tubes
- Vaginismus - an involuntary tightening of vaginal walls which leads to severe pain during penetration
Intrauterine Insimenation At Oma Fertility
To be the best IUI center in Mumbai, we try to understand the medical, social, and financial needs of every couple distinctly so that our treatments are accurate and beneficial to every individual couple. Our experts follow a thorough procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of all infertility conditions. For the IUI procedure, here’s how your cycle will proceed.
Step 1: Initial Diagnosis
For IUI to succeed, the female partner needs to have at least one healthy fallopian tube. This is confirmed through a tubal patency test. The doctors also ensure that the healthy fallopian tube has a healthy ovary without any ovulation issues through an anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) test.
A semen sample is collected from the male partner to analyze if it has adequate sperm count. The semen analysis process also checks sperm motility, morphology, and chromosomes.
Step 2: Ovarian Stimulation
While performing IUI treatment in Mumbai at our clinic, our specialists may recommend hormone therapy to stimulate egg production. Here, the ovaries are monitored with ultrasound scans for mature eggs, and a hormone dose is injected into the ovaries to boost the ovulation time. This process is known as ovulation induction.
However, regular ultrasound scans can also be used in tracking the follicle and ovulation without any injections. This is done to deduce the exact time frame for the insemination process.
Step 3: Sperm Washing
In this crucial step of the IUI treatment, healthy sperms are isolated from the semen sample prepared for insemination.
First, the semen sample is mixed with semen wash media that helps remove certain elements from it. Next, this solution is placed in a centrifuge device, and the sample is processed through multiple phases. The washed semen sample is now ready for insemination.
Step 4: Insemination Process
The IVF expert will fix the exact time for the insemination process after confirming that a necessary number of eggs have been ovulated, usually 36 hours to 40 hours after ovulation. During the procedure, the vagina is dilated with a speculum tool, and the prepared semen sample is injected directly into the womb using a thin catheter. The catheter passes through the cervix up to some length of the fallopian tube and ensures that the sperms directly contact the ovulated eggs.
Step 5: Pregnancy Test
The doctor will prescribe a pregnancy test two weeks after the insemination process to confirm the result. Then, the doctor will plan further treatment based on pregnancy results.
Typically, the IUI procedures are recommended to couples with moderate fertility issues; hence positive results may be expected from the procedures. Moreover, some couples are lucky to receive a positive result in the first cycle, whereas others need to go through multiple IUI cycles to get pregnant.

Success rates of IUI in Mumbai differ significantly based on several factors associated with both partners. Some of these factors are discussed below.
