Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly into a woman's uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of pregnancy.
Preparation: Before the procedure, patients may need to attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery and to arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable.
Procedure: Performed under general or local anaesthesia, the doctor inserts a speculum into the vagina to visualize the cervix. A thin, flexible catheter is then used to place a prepared sperm sample directly into the uterus. The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and is relatively painless.
Recovery: Post-procedure, patients may experience mild cramping or spotting, which can be managed with prescribed painkillers if necessary. It's essential to follow any specific post-procedure care instructions provided by the fertility clinic. Full recovery varies per individual but generally occurs within a few days.
