What is an IUI and how is it done?

Infertility,ICSI, IUI (INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION ).... at Ca...
An IUI -- intrauterine insemination -- is performed by inserting a very thin flexible catheter through the cervix (mouth of the uterus) and injecting washed sperm directly into the uterus. The whole process does not take very long — it usually only requires the insertion of a speculum and then the catheter, a process that maybe takes a couple of minutes. Sometimes when the cervix is hard to reach a tentaculum is used to hold the cervix, which makes the procedure easier.

How is the insemination made?

Can IUI be done at home?

Infertility,ICSI, IUI (INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION ).... at Ca...
An IUI shouldn't be done at home without medical supervision because the sperms needs to be washed to prevent infection -- i.e., separated from the semen. A vaginal insemination can be done at home, but is no more successful than intercourse. Getting semen or air into the uterus could be quite dangerous -- perhaps life-threatening.
