Infertility Treatments at Abhaya Hospitals – Ovulation Induction (OI) & Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

At Abhaya Hospitals, we offer advanced infertility treatments to help couples fulfill their dream of parenthood. Among our specialized services are Ovulation Induction (OI) and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)—proven methods that address a variety of fertility challenges.

What is Ovulation Induction (OI)?

Ovulation Induction is a fertility treatment aimed at stimulating the ovaries to produce and release eggs, helping women who have irregular or absent ovulation cycles.

Steps in Ovulation Induction:

  • Initial Assessment: Hormonal tests and ultrasound evaluations to identify ovulation issues.
  • Medication: Oral medications like Clomiphene Citrate or Letrozole, or injectable hormones like Gonadotropins, are used to stimulate the ovaries.
  • Monitoring: Regular ultrasounds to monitor follicular growth and blood tests to measure hormone levels.
  • Triggering Ovulation: An hCG injection is administered to ensure the timely release of eggs.
  • Timed Intercourse or IUI: Timed intercourse or IUI is planned to coincide with ovulation, optimizing chances of conception.

Who Can Benefit from OI?

  • Women with ovulation disorders, such as PCOS.
  • Couples with unexplained infertility.
  • Those not ready for or unable to undergo more invasive treatments like IVF.

What is Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)?

Intrauterine Insemination is a fertility treatment where specially prepared sperm are directly placed into the uterus during ovulation, increasing the chances of fertilization.

Steps in IUI:

  • Ovulation Tracking: Natural or stimulated ovulation is closely monitored using ultrasounds and hormonal blood tests.
  • Sperm Preparation: The partner’s or donor’s sperm is washed and concentrated to enhance its quality.
  • Insemination: Using a fine catheter, the prepared sperm is introduced directly into the uterus, reducing the distance it needs to travel to fertilize the egg.
  • Post-Procedure Monitoring: Hormonal support may be provided, and pregnancy testing is done after two weeks.

Who Can Benefit from IUI?

  • Couples with mild male-factor infertility (low sperm count or motility).
  • Women with mild endometriosis or ovulation issues.
  • Couples with unexplained infertility.
  • Same-sex couples or single women using donor sperm.

Benefits of OI and IUI

  • Less Invasive: Both procedures are simpler and less invasive compared to IVF.
  • Cost-Effective: Affordable and effective first-line treatments for infertility.
  • Natural Progression: OI helps regulate ovulation, while IUI facilitates fertilization naturally within the uterus.
  • Increased Success Rates: When combined, OI and IUI can significantly enhance the chances of conception.
