Opportunities
and Success.
IUI and Andrology help gynecologists
and clinics / hospitals to enter the field of ART. The rationale of IUI is to
reduce the effect of factors such as Vaginal Acidity and Cervical Mucus Hostility.
Also, IUI promises easy entry in ART and allows clinics to explore viability of
IVF and ICSI programmes.
