Unlike IUI, intrauterine insemination normally requires a medical practitioner to perform the procedure. One of the requirements is to have at least one permeable tube, proved by hysterosalpingography. The Infertility duration is also important. A female under 30 years of age has optimal chances with IUI. For the man, a TMS of more than 5 million per ml is needed. A short period of ejaculatory abstinence before intrauterine insemination is associated with higher pregnancy rates.
IUI Treatment is a more efficient method of artificial insemination because it generally gives a higher success rate. The success rate per cycle is 15% percent.
The patient needs to undergo hormonal evaluation, to know her ovarian function and at least one patent tube. For husband, TMS should be more than 5 million/ml is optimal.
