Intrauterine insemination- IUI
Is the artificial transfer of semen into the uterus

This procedure is only useful when one or both fallopian tubes are known to be open and if sperm count is more or less normal.

The first step is to administer fertility hormones that facilitate maturation of the oocytes and ovulation. The man's semen is prepared and placed as close as possible to the oocyte with the help of a flexible transfer catheter inserted into the uterine cavity.
