Summary

This study investigates whether having a full bladder during intrauterine insemination (IUI) can improve pregnancy rates. The idea is that a full bladder straightens the uterus, making it easier to place sperm correctly using ultrasound guidance. The trial compares this approach to the standard IUI procedure with an empty bladder. Participants are women aged 18–39 with infertility lasting at least a year.

What this could mean

Active substance

What this could lead to
If effective, this simple technique could increase pregnancy rates for people undergoing IUI, offering a low-cost improvement to fertility treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a single study with 340 participants, and results may not apply to all fertility cases. The technique may cause discomfort or not improve outcomes.
