IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): A Simple and Effective Fertility Treatment
Infertility can be an emotionally challenging journey for couples trying to conceive. Fortunately, modern reproductive medicine offers safe and effective solutions to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood. One such widely recommended treatment is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination). At Matrika Fertility Centre, Darbhanga, under the expert guidance of Dr. Kumari Shilpa, we provide advanced and personalized IUI treatment with high ethical standards and compassionate care.
What is IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)?
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment in which specially prepared and concentrated sperm is directly placed into a woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation. This procedure increases the chances of fertilization by bringing healthy sperm closer to the egg.
IUI is considered a simple, minimally invasive, and cost-effective fertility treatment, often recommended as the first-line option for couples facing mild fertility issues.
Who Can Benefit from IUI Treatment?
IUI is suitable for couples with specific fertility challenges, including:
Unexplained infertility
Mild male factor infertility (low sperm count or motility)
Cervical factor infertility
Ovulation-related problems
Couples trying to conceive for more than 1 year (or 6 months if the woman is over 35)
Women with endometriosis (mild cases)
Use of donor sperm
At Matrika Fertility Centre in Darbhanga, every couple undergoes a detailed evaluation before recommending IUI to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Step-by-Step IUI Procedure
1. Initial Consultation & Fertility Evaluation
Dr. Kumari Shilpa conducts a thorough assessment, including medical history, ultrasound scans, hormonal tests, and semen analysis.
2. Ovulation Monitoring
Ovulation may be stimulated using fertility medications. Regular ultrasounds help track follicle development and identify the ideal time for insemination.
3. Sperm Collection & Preparation
On the day of the procedure, the semen sample is collected and processed in the lab to select the healthiest and most active sperm.
4. Insemination Process
The prepared sperm is gently inserted into the uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is painless and takes only a few minutes.
5. Post-IUI Care
Patients are advised to rest briefly and can resume normal activities the same day. A pregnancy test is usually done after 14 days.
Success Rate of IUI Treatment
The success rate of IUI depends on several factors:
Age of the woman
Cause of infertility
Sperm quality
Use of fertility medications
On average, IUI success rates range from 10% to 20% per cycle, and multiple cycles may be advised for optimal results. At Matrika Fertility Centre, we focus on evidence-based protocols to improve success rates.

Simple and non-surgical procedure
Less expensive compared to IVF
