IUI – Intrauterine Insemination Treatment
Achieving Pregnancy with IUI at Monash IVF KPJ Johor
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one of the simplest and least-invasive fertility treatments available in Malaysia for couples who are having trouble getting pregnant. It works by placing concentrated, motile sperm directly into the uterus to increase the likelihood of fertilisation.
This procedure has helped many couples achieve their dream of becoming parents, especially when facing mild male infertility, unexplained infertility, or cervical factor issues.
Monash IVF KPJ Johor is recognised as one of the leading clinics for IUI treatment in Malaysia. As pioneers in IVF and assisted reproduction, our clinic has performed countless successful IUI procedures since 1994, providing hope and expert care for families across the country.
Understanding IUI Artificial Insemination for Pregnancy in Malaysia
IUI, or intrauterine insemination, is a form of artificial insemination where sperm from a male partner or donor is collected, prepared, and placed directly into the uterus using a thin, flexible catheter.
In a natural cycle, only a small number of sperm reach the fallopian tubes, especially in cases of low sperm motility. IUI improves these odds by delivering a high concentration of healthy, motile sperm closer to the egg.
Before insemination, fertility specialists perform sperm washing to remove debris and isolate the most viable sperm. The sperm is inserted into the uterus at the woman’s most fertile time of the cycle.
According to WebMD, the success rate of IUI depends on factors like age, fertility diagnosis, and sperm quality. Higher success is generally seen in women under 35 with 13% success rate per cycle.
The IUI Procedure in an Infertility Treatment Cycle
Here is a step-by-step overview of the IUI process in a typical treatment cycle:
Cycle day 1
Contact your fertility specialist or your fertility clinic in Malaysia on the first day of menstruation to begin the IUI cycle.
Cycle day 2-4
Visit the clinic for blood tests and an ultrasound to confirm cycle status and check for ovarian cysts.
You may begin oral, vaginal, or injectable fertility medication to stimulate follicle development. The choice of medication will depend on the woman’s age, ovarian function, and prior treatments.
Cycle day 10-12
Additional blood work and ultrasound will be done to assess the ovarian response to medication. Once the ovarian follicle has reached the appropriate size, the woman will be given a “trigger shot” to stimulate ovulation.
Day of Insemination
Approximately 36 hours after the trigger shot, you’ll return to the clinic for the IUI procedure:
- The male partner provides a sperm sample 30–60 minutes before the procedure.
- The sample is processed via sperm washing to remove debris and concentrate healthy sperm.
Using a thin catheter, the sperm is placed directly into the uterus.
The procedure is quick, minimally uncomfortable, and does not require anaesthesia.
