IUI
IUI i.e. intrauterine insemination is popularly known as artificial insemination. It is perhaps one of the most affordable and popular means of having a child for couples who are not able to conceive due to one or the other reason. Compared to IVF, it is a much easier option for people where mild male factor infertility is the problem. In this procedure, the sperm is placed directly inside the uterus of the woman in order to increase the chances of fertilization resulting in pregnancy.
The procedure essentially gives a head start to sperms to reach the eggs. The reasons for sperms not reaching the eggs naturally may be due to erectile dysfunction, poor motility of the sperms, the cervical environment of the woman might be hostile to sperms, cervical scar tissues hampering the movement of sperms, etc.
