Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – Less Invasive Fertility Treatment
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, our Fertility & IVF center offers Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) as a simpler, less invasive fertility treatment. IUI involves placing washed and prepared sperm directly into the woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation, increasing the chances of sperm reaching the egg naturally. It is often recommended as an initial treatment for couples with mild infertility issues before moving to more advanced options like IVF.
