      \n
    • \n
        \n
      • Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Advanced maternal age (usually over 35)<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Severe male infertility (e.g., low sperm count or poor sperm motility)<\/span><\/li>\n

        Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a less invasive fertility treatment that involves directly placing sperm into the woman\u2019s uterus around the time of ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h4″ title_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Montserrat||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” header_3_font=”Montserrat||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#ca2775″ sticky_enabled=”0″ text_line_height=”2.9em”]

          When is IUI Recommended?<\/b>
          <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

          IUI is typically recommended for couples or individuals facing milder fertility issues, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n
              \n
            • Mild male infertility (low sperm count or motility)<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Unexplained infertility<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Cervical mucus issues that prevent sperm from reaching the egg<\/span><\/li>\n

              \u00a0IVF is more complex and involves multiple steps, including egg retrieval and embryo culture, while IUI is a simpler, less invasive procedure.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Success Rates” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” open=”off” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

              IVF generally has a higher success rate than IUI, especially for women over 35 or those with severe fertility issues. IUI success rates are lower but can be effective for younger women or those with mild infertility.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Cost” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” open=”off” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

              IVF tends to be more expensive than IUI due to the complexity of the procedure and lab work involved. IUI is often considered a more affordable fertility treatment option.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Time Commitment” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” open=”off” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]

              IVF requires more time due to the medications, egg retrieval, and embryo development stages.
