IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), a type of artificial insemination, is a procedure where sperm is inserted directly into a woman’s uterus. Fertility medication may be used along with IUI to help the ovaries produce eggs.

Diagnostic testing
Tests will be conducted, followed by a consultation to review the results and discuss the personalised treatment plan.
