The IUI or intrauterine insemination procedure is for women who are unable to become pregnant on their own. IUI is the most cost effective infertility treatment available.
During the procedure a very thin flexible catheter is threaded through the cervix. Once the catheter is in place, washed sperm is then injected into the uterus.
Intrauterine insemination only takes 2-3 minutes and is relatively painless. About two weeks after the procedure a pregnancy test is performed to confirm a pregnancy.
About The Fertility Center of the Carolinas
Women and men with cancer face many unknowns regarding their future health. Fortunately, modern therapeutic options have improved the survival rate for nearly all forms of cancer. This success often comes at the expense of reproductive function, which may be irreversibly damaged during therapy. Therefore, a thorough discussion of fertility preservation options is appropriate for anyone who has recently been diagnosed with cancer of any kind.
Fertility Center of the Carolinas, a part of Greenville Health System, offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment of fertility and hormonal disorders for couples throughout the region. With our combination of research, technology and fertility expertise, we are honored to assist and educate cancer patients regarding reproductive options.
