Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility procedure that harnesses the natural ability of sperm to fertilize an oocyte. However, its effectiveness can be limited, so a preliminary sperm analysis is recommended to assess sperm quality.

Objective of IUI

The main goal of IUI is to increase the number of motile sperm reaching the fallopian tubes, thereby enhancing the chances of fertilization. The procedure does not alter the fertilization process itself.

Procedure Overview

Management Plan: A gynaecologist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Ovulation Monitoring: You may be prescribed medication to stimulate oocyte maturation, with regular ultrasound monitoring to track progress.
Triggering Ovulation: Ovulation is then triggered using medication at the appropriate time
Insemination: Approximately 24 to 36 hours after ovulation, a prepared sperm sample is gently placed directly into the uterus. This painless procedure requires no anaesthesia.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a minimally invasive and accessible option for couples trying to conceive. It is generally covered by LAML for up to three attempts.

Sperm Preparation with ZyMot Technology

To optimize your chances of success, we offer ZyMot microfluidic technology as an alternative to the conventional gradient centrifugation technique. This innovative method reduces sperm DNA fragmentation, selects the most motile sperm with normal morphology, improves embryo quality, and enhances overall treatment outcomes.

ZyMot mimics the natural sperm selection process that occurs in the cervix, helping to reduce chromosomal abnormalities and increase embryo viability.

Please note that this advanced technology involves an additional cost. For more information, please refer to our price list.

Numerous studies have confirmed the effectiveness of ZyMot in sperm preparation for fertility treatments, highlighting its positive impact on success rates1,2.
