How do intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) differ in terms of procedure, success rates and cost and which one is more suitable for certain infertility cases?
IUI involves placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. IVF involves egg fertilization outside the body and implanting the embryo into the uterus. IUI is less invasive and costly but has lower success rates compared to IVF, which is better for complex fertility issues.
IUI is a simpler, less expensive procedure where sperm is inserted directly into the uterus. IVF involves egg extraction and lab fertilization, and is costlier but has higher success rates. IVF is often recommended for more complex fertility issues.
