IUI or intrauterine insemination in Toronto can help to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. Intrauterine insemination in Toronto area is a fertility treatment that places the sperm closer to the fallopian tubes to get more sperm where it needs to be.
When is IUI Used to Treat Infertility?
IUI is used when the partner sperm count is low or when there are mobility issues with the sperm but that is not the only time it is used. It can also be used when there is cervical scarring, when there are ejaculation problems, unexplained fertility issues or when there is another hostile cervical issue.
When is IUI NOT an option?
For women that have severe cases of endometritis this is not a good option. When the fallopian tubes are severely damaged this is not a good option. In women that have a history of serious pelvic inflammatory disease this is not the best route.
What is the Process Like?
Typically, before the IUI takes place a women will be put on ovulating stimulating medications to ensure there is an ample supply of eggs ready for fertilization. The sperm will be washed to remove any seminal fluid and to separate the sperm. Once ovulation has been confirmed the sperm will be delivered to the uterus via a catheter. The delivery procedure is done in minutes and is minimally uncomfortable.
The Success Rate
