Patient's question:
The first child I had was quite normal. But now I'm preparing for a second child, and it's been a long time since I've been able to conceive. I suspect it's my problem. Please ask: How can I diagnose female infertility?Doctor's answer:
Infertility is a problem that troubles many families. As the number of infertile patients in our country continues to grow, the causes of infertility also become diverse. Without identifying the fundamental cause of infertility, effective treatment cannot be achieved. Post-coital test is also a common diagnostic method for finding the cause of infertility. Below, we will briefly explain it for you.1. The best time to perform the post-coital test is when the female has reached her menopausal cycle. Patients should strictly refrain from sexual intercourse for 2 days before the test. The test should be conducted 6 to 10 hours after intercourse. If infertility still persists, the test should be repeated 18 to 24 hours after intercourse. The optimal time to perform the test is 2.5 hours after intercourse, although there are more sperm in the mucus.
