What is IUI and when is it performed?
Intrauterine insemination is an office-based procedure where sperm from an ejaculate are washed and concentrated into a small volume that is then deposited into the upper part of the uterus. This positions the sperm closer to where they will meet the egg for fertilization (in the fallopian tube). IUI is often recommended for men with low sperm counts or for couples with unexplained infertility.
