Patient's question:
A 35-year-old woman gradually starts feeling uncomfortable in her body, but she doesn't know why. It seems like she lacks energy. Please ask: How is infertility usually checked?Doctor's answer:
First, the man gets a semen analysis, and the woman has her menstrual period to check for sex hormones and thyroid hormones at the hospital. A transvaginal ultrasound is performed, with 3 to 5 scans this month to monitor the growth of the follicles and conduct a thorough examination of the endometrium. During the ovulation period, the doctor can guide you on the timing of intercourse. If there are signs of pelvic inflammatory disease, a fallopian tube should be performed 3 to 7 days after the next menstrual period to check if the fallopian tubes are open.
