Treatment Options: Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)


Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a technique that places prepared sperm directly into the uterus. IUI is used to treat a variety of causes of infertility, including:

  • Couples with unexplained infertility
  • Cervical factor infertility
  • Endometriosis-associated infertility
  • Male factor infertility (though generally advised against for men with extremely low sperm counts or motility).

Sperm donation can come from a partner or from frozen donor sperm obtained from commercial donor sperm banks.
