IUI Treatment
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment that places specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus around the time of ovulation. This minimally invasive procedure increases the number of sperm that reach the fallopian tubes, thereby increasing the chance of fertilization.

Sperm Preparation
Sperm sample is washed and concentrated to select the healthiest, most active sperm.
