Performed by Dr. Y. Pramoda Reddy at Dr. Y. Pramoda Reddy Fertility Specialist in Kadapa
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) in Kadapa is a fertility treatment that places specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation to increase the chances of conception. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for couples facing mild fertility challenges, unexplained infertility, or male factor issues. Dr. Y. Pramoda at Mathrusri IVF Clinic provides comprehensive IUI treatment with advanced monitoring and personalized protocols to optimize success rates.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Fertility medications may be prescribed to stimulate the ovaries and promote the development of one or more mature eggs. Monitoring through ultrasound and blood tests tracks follicle growth and hormone levels to determine the optimal timing for insemination.
When follicles reach the appropriate size, an HCG trigger injection is administered to induce final egg maturation and ovulation. The IUI procedure is scheduled 24-36 hours after the trigger shot to coincide with ovulation.
On the day of the procedure, a semen sample is collected and processed in the laboratory through sperm washing. This technique concentrates the healthiest, most motile sperm and removes seminal fluid, dead sperm, and debris to optimize fertilization potential.
The prepared sperm sample is loaded into a thin, flexible catheter. The catheter is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and the concentrated sperm is deposited directly into the uterine cavity near the fallopian tubes, bypassing cervical barriers.
After insemination, you may rest briefly before resuming normal activities. Progesterone supplementation may be prescribed to support the uterine lining. A pregnancy test is scheduled approximately 14 days after the procedure to determine if conception occurred.
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.
At Mathrusri IVF Clinic, Dr. Y. Pramoda begins with a thorough evaluation including hormonal analysis, ovarian reserve testing, and semen analysis to customize your IUI protocol and maximize success potential.
We develop individualized medication protocols based on your age, ovarian function, and previous cycle history. Close monitoring with serial ultrasounds ensures optimal follicle development and precise timing of ovulation.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory uses advanced sperm washing techniques to select the highest quality sperm with superior motility and morphology, significantly improving fertilization chances compared to natural conception.
Following your IUI procedure, our team provides detailed guidance on activity restrictions, medication schedules, and symptom management. We offer emotional support throughout the two-week wait and comprehensive follow-up care regardless of outcome.
What to expect at each stage of your recovery journey.
You may experience mild cramping similar to menstrual discomfort immediately after the procedure. Rest for 10-15 minutes in the clinic before leaving. Most women resume normal daily activities within hours, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours.
During the 14 days following IUI, continue progesterone supplements as prescribed and maintain a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition and stress management. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excessive caffeine. Some women experience medication-related symptoms like breast tenderness or mild bloating.
After the pregnancy test, schedule a follow-up consultation to discuss results. If successful, early pregnancy monitoring with ultrasound begins. If unsuccessful, Dr. Y. Pramoda will review the cycle and recommend adjustments for subsequent attempts or alternative treatments if needed.
IUI can achieve pregnancy rates of 15-20% per cycle, with success varying based on age, diagnosis, and sperm quality. Cumulative success rates improve with multiple cycles, with many couples conceiving within 3-6 IUI attempts. Early pregnancy is monitored closely with hormone levels and ultrasound.
Even unsuccessful IUI cycles provide valuable diagnostic information about ovarian response, sperm quality, and cycle timing. This data helps Dr. Y. Pramoda refine treatment protocols or determine if advanced procedures like IVF would be more appropriate.
IUI offers a less invasive and more affordable option compared to IVF for couples with certain fertility challenges. It allows natural fertilization within the body while addressing specific barriers to conception, making it an ideal starting point for many fertility journeys.
With ovarian stimulation, there is a 10-20% chance of multiple pregnancy (twins or rarely triplets). Careful monitoring and controlled medication dosing at Mathrusri IVF Clinic minimize this risk while optimizing single pregnancy success rates.
