Understanding IUI and IVF
What is IUI?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a less invasive fertility treatment where washed and concentrated sperm is placed directly into the uterus during ovulation. This increases the chances of fertilization by bringing the sperm closer to the egg.
IUI is often recommended for:
-
Couples with unexplained infertility
-
Mild male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility)
-
Women with ovulation disorders
-
Cervical mucus issues that hinder sperm movement
Since IUI is less invasive and more affordable, it is usually considered a first-line treatment for many couples.
What is IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a more advanced treatment in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the uterus.
IVF is recommended for:
-
Women with blocked fallopian tubes
-
Severe male factor infertility
-
Endometriosis-related infertility
-
Couples who have not had success with IUI or other treatments
-
Women with advanced maternal age or low ovarian reserve
While IVF involves multiple steps and is more expensive, it offers higher success rates, especially for complex fertility challenges.
IUI vs. IVF: Key Differences
Which Treatment is Right for You?
The choice between IUI and IVF depends on factors like age, medical history, and fertility diagnosis. If you are younger and have mild fertility issues, IUI may be a good starting point. However, if there are significant fertility challenges, IVF may be the more effective option.
