The IUI procedure for male infertility
If male factor infertility issues are suspected before IUI, a partner will need a full male fertility evaluation. Included also sperm analysis, before the undergo the IUI procedure.
During this evaluation, a doctor will check partner’s semen for sperm count and motility. If he has low sperm count, the doctor may ask him to give several semen samples that can be used during the IUI procedure. Having several samples will increase the number of sperm available and may improve the chances of IUI success.
Before giving a sperm sample, a partner will want to abstain from ejaculation for 2-3 days. This 2-3 day wait will maximize his sperm count, and help ensure that his sperm is healthy and mobile.
