How Successful is IUI? Understanding the Success Rates
UI is a common fertility treatment for low sperm count. If natural conception hasn't worked after a while, couples often turn to this procedure at a fertility clinic.
How successful is IUI? It can significantly improve the odds of conception for couples struggling with male infertility. Low sperm count is a common problem among males. Many men wake up to the reality that they cannot impregnate their partners because of a problem with their fertility.
Every ninety-nine days, a man's body produces 300 million sperm per milliliter of semen on a daily basis. A healthy sperm count for a natural conception is up to 40 million per milliliter; any count lower than 20 million is regarded as low and may have an effect on fertility.
Usually, just one sperm fertilizes an egg. Many sperm die in the acidic cervix, and others can't reach the egg. In IUI treatment, sperm is injected into the uterus during ovulation after washing to remove excess fluid.
When Is IUI Treatment Recommended?
Intra-uterine insemination is usually recommended only in cases of low sperm count. Men with other infertility problems such as poor sperm motility or poor sperm morphology are not usually recommended IUI treatment as the sperm are not of the required quality to fertilise the egg naturally.

Get A Second OpinionThe Success Rate Of IUI
Even though the IUI procedure appears to be simple and without flaws, the success rate of iui treatment is between 10% to 15%. Even with its low success rate, the IUI treatment is quite popular.
The reason many couples opt for IUI is because it is much cheaper than IVF or any other fertility treatment option. With the right timing and a fertile female partner, it increases the chances of success with the IUI treatment and the couple stands a good chance of conceiving.
Poor Quality Sperm
The quality of the sperm is the main reason behind couples not being able to conceive even with the IUI treatment. Even though the sperm is washed and the healthy sperm are segregated.
Those who are not able to get pregnant with IUI are recommended In Vitro Fertilisation. It is a procedure where the female egg and the male sperm are fertilised in the lab and then placed in the female uterus.
Risks Of IUI Treatment
- Undergoing IUI treatment is usually painless; most women hardly feel anything.
- Rarely, severe infections post-treatment may occur in the female partner.
- Side effects of fertility drugs used to stimulate ovaries include temporary discomfort, which typically subsides within a week.
- Risks of IUI include the possibility of multiple pregnancies.
- Multiple pregnancies can lead to health risks for both mother and babies, such as low birth weight, developmental problems, premature delivery, and preeclampsia.
- Despite risks, many couples are excited about the possibility of twins or triplets.
- With ideal conditions and a healthy female partner, IUI success rates are significantly higher.
