Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is an age-old technique, commonly performed in cases of cervical hostility, erectile dysfunction and unexplained infertility. In this procedure, sperms are placed directly inside the uterine cavity after preparation of the sample.
It is mandatory to have the tubes open for this particular procedure. If the tubes are blocked, then the patient has to resort to ‘test tube baby’ treatment or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
