What is a uterine insemination?

Uterine insemination, often referred to as intrauterine insemination (IUI), is a fertility treatment that involves directly placing sperm into a woman's uterus during her ovulation period. This procedure aims to increase the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes, enhancing the chances of fertilization. IUI is commonly used for couples facing infertility issues, such as low sperm count or unexplained infertility, and is considered a less invasive option compared to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
