IUI: Artificial insemination, or IUI, is one of the methods of assisted reproduction (ART) in which washed sperm are injected directly into the uterine cavity. This is done near the woman’s ovulation period. The cervix naturally limits the number of sperm that enters the uterus. For this reason, in natural pregnancy attempts, only a limited number of sperms can find their way into the Fallopian tubes. In the IUI method, by directly inserting sperm into the uterus, travel to the Fallopian tubes becomes shorter and the probability of sperm contact with the egg increases, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy. IUI is a less invasive infertility treatment method and it has many broad applications. This method is generally used as a first step in the infertility treatment process, and if unsuccessful, depending on the couple’s condition the other treatments such as IVF are suggested. IVF: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the assisted reproductive techniques (ART) which a man’s sperm and the woman’s egg are combined in a laboratory dish, where fertilization occurs. When the egg is fertilized, the primary cell begins to divide and form the embryo. The resulting embryo or embryos is/are then transferred to the woman’s uterus to implant and develop naturally. for more information about fertility treatment you can visit: https://hayatmedtour.com/procedures/fertility-treatment/
