What is IUI (intrauterine insemination)?

Intrauterine insemination (IUI), is a fertility treatment where sperm is inseminated directly into uterine cavity. If you are looking for best IUI in Abu Dhabi by Dr. Ripal Madnani, then it’s your best choice for treatment.

In natural conception, a sperm must travel from your vagina through the cervix, into the uterus to reach fallopian tubes. Only 5% of the sperms are able to reach the egg in fallopian tube. This is where the sperm meet the egg and fertilization occurs. Whilst in IUI, the semen is collected, sperms are washed and concentrated so that only high-quality sperms remain. This sperms are placed directly into your uterus with a thin tube, putting it closer to the fallopian tubes near to ovulation. IUI makes it easier for the sperm to reach an egg by cutting down the time and distance it has to travel. This enhances your chance of becoming pregnant.
