Is IUI Procedure Safe While On Antibiotics For Gum Infection?
Hi I am about to start iui this period cycle, I am on day 4 of my period and have developed a infection in my gum I am worried if I take antibiotics I may have to skip this month and wait until the next cycle which i really did not want to do. Could you please give me some advise on iui while on antibiotics?
Thanks for your query . Well the antibiotics are not of much concern during the IUI procedure , what is more concern is the severity of infection you have . If the infection is already present in blood then it can become a complication.
As far as antibiotics are concern ,they should be safe in pregnancy . so consult your doctor about antibiotics and severity of infection.
Doctor may order blood test and may refer you to the dentist for proper evaluation of the condition .
As it is important to carried out the IUI procedure during ovulation for its high success rate , ite is also important to check other conditions like infection.
If the infection is mild doctor may go for procedure or may alter your antibiotics before procedure.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
