what is iui procedure

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment where sperm is placed directly into a person's uterus using a small catheter. During the procedure, sperm that have been washed and concentrated are placed directly inside the uterus during ovulation, which helps healthy sperm get closer to the egg when it’s released by the ovaries.

IUI is a minimally invasive, lower-cost alternative to in vitro fertilization (IVF), and it can be conveniently performed in a clinic
