Practical Guide to Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, is a type of fertility treatment in which the better quality sperm are selected and then injected directly into the womb during ovulation. It is more natural and cost-effective than In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), but it is also less successful in achieving a pregnancy. Authored by renowned experts in the field, this book is a step-by-step guide to the complete process of IUI for practising and trainee gynaecologists. Beginning with discussion on counselling and diagnostic work-up before IUI, the next chapters cover indications and ultrasound. The following sections examine ovulation, timing of IUI, techniques, luteal phase support, complications, and factors affecting success. The final chapter discusses sperm preparation. The text is further enhanced by clinical images and figures. The previous edition (9789390595167) published in 2021.
