A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.

About the Procedure

What is IUI?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment in which specially prepared, concentrated sperm is placed directly into a woman's uterus around the time of ovulation to increase the chances of fertilization. It is commonly recommended for mild male factor infertility, unexplained infertility, cervical factor issues, or as a first-line treatment before moving to IVF. The procedure is minimally invasive, quick, and usually performed on an outpatient basis without anesthesia.

Who may be considered?

IUI may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.

How does it work?

The IUI procedure is timed with the woman's natural ovulation cycle, monitored through ultrasound scans and hormone tracking, without the use of ovulation-stimulating drugs.

2 approaches available for this procedure:

Natural Cycle IUI

Minimal Medication

The IUI procedure is timed with the woman's natural ovulation cycle, monitored through ultrasound scans and hormone tracking, without the use of ovulation-stimulating drugs.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: $150 - $400

Hormone profile (FSH, LH, AMH, TSH, Prolactin), transvaginal ultrasound, semen analysis, ovulation tracking scans, HSV/rubella screening if required

Treatment / Procedure Estimate

Estimated cost in India: $300 - $700

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 day (day-care)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~1 day recommended
Total stay: approx 3-4 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package

  • Fertility specialist consultation
  • Follicular monitoring scans
  • Sperm washing and preparation
  • IUI procedure
  • Post-procedure review consultation

Usually Not Included

  • Fertility medications (if later required)
  • Airfare and visa costs
  • Accommodation and local transport
  • Additional IUI cycles if repeat treatment needed
  • Advanced genetic or sperm DNA fragmentation testing

Recovery and follow-up

Most women can resume normal daily activities immediately after the IUI procedure, with only mild cramping or spotting possible for a day or two; a pregnancy test is usually advised about two weeks after the procedure.

Risks

IUI is a low-risk procedure, though mild cramping, spotting, or infection risk can occur, and stimulated cycles carry a slightly higher chance of multiple pregnancy or ovarian hyperstimulation.

Alternatives

Depending on the cause and duration of infertility, alternatives to IUI may include timed intercourse with ovulation tracking, in vitro fertilization (IVF/ICSI), or donor sperm insemination in cases of severe male factor infertility.

What we need to prepare a formal estimate

Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.

  • Transvaginal ultrasound / pelvic scan report
  • HSG (Hysterosalpingography) report confirming tubal patency
  • Previous fertility treatment records, if any
  • Infectious disease screening reports (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, VDRL)
  • Blood group and CBC reports

Patient information needed

  • Age and duration of infertility (primary or secondary)
  • Regularity and length of menstrual cycle
  • Any history of PCOS, endometriosis, or tubal blockage
  • Partner's fertility history and sperm quality
  • Previous IUI, IVF, or fertility treatment outcomes

Common questions

FAQs about IUI in Chennai, India

What is Female Infertility?
Female infertility refers to a woman's inability to conceive after a defined period of trying, and it is recognized as a medical condition with identifiable causes that can often be investigated and treated. It may arise from factors affecting ovulation, the uterus, the fallopian tubes, or the broader hormonal environment, and in some cases no single cause is identified.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Female Infertility?
Female infertility itself is often silent, but associated conditions may present with irregular or absent menstrual periods, pelvic pain, painful intercourse, or abnormal hormonal signs such as excessive hair growth or unexplained weight changes. These features may point toward underlying causes such as PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid dysfunction, or hyperprolactinaemia. It is important to note that the presence or absence of symptoms alone cannot confirm or rule out infertility or its underlying cause—only a structured clinical evaluation can do that.
How is Female Infertility diagnosed?
Assessment typically begins with a detailed menstrual and reproductive history, followed by blood tests to evaluate ovarian reserve (including AMH and day-3 FSH levels), thyroid function, prolactin, and other hormonal markers. Pelvic ultrasound is commonly used to assess the ovaries and uterine cavity, while a hysterosalpingography (HSG) or hysterosonography may be performed to evaluate fallopian tube patency and uterine structure. In some cases, laparoscopy is recommended to directly visualise and assess conditions such as endometriosis or pelvic adhesions that may not be detectable on imaging alone.
How is Female Infertility treated?
Treatment for female infertility is highly individualised and depends on the identified cause, the woman's age, ovarian reserve, and overall health status—no single approach is appropriate for all patients. Non-procedural options such as ovulation induction with oral medications, hormonal therapy, or management of underlying conditions like thyroid disease may be sufficient for some women. When these approaches are insufficient, assisted reproductive technologies such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF) may be recommended, and in selected cases surgical correction of structural abnormalities may also play a role.
Can Female Infertility be treated without a procedure?
Many women with infertility are managed without surgery, particularly when the cause relates to ovulatory dysfunction or hormonal imbalance; options include lifestyle modification (weight optimisation, smoking cessation), oral ovulation-induction agents such as letrozole or clomiphene, and medical management of conditions such as PCOS, hyperprolactinaemia, or thyroid disorders. However, when causes such as blocked fallopian tubes, significant fibroids, or moderate-to-severe endometriosis are identified, non-surgical approaches alone are unlikely to be sufficient, and the most appropriate pathway will be determined by a qualified specialist based on individual findings.
When is IUI considered for Female Infertility?
IUI may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Female Infertility?
Female infertility is typically evaluated and managed by a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist (REI), who may work alongside a gynaecologist with subspecialty training in reproductive medicine. In cases involving suspected structural or surgical pathology, a gynaecological surgeon with experience in minimally invasive or reproductive surgery may also be involved in care.
How do I choose a doctor for Female Infertility?
When selecting a specialist or clinic, it is worth comparing the team's documented experience with the specific cause of your infertility, the range of diagnostic investigations and treatment options available on-site (including IUI and IVF), accreditation of the laboratory if ART is anticipated, and the clarity of follow-up and monitoring protocols between cycles or after procedures.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
