Patient's question:
Just when we got married and started a family, we didn't prepare much for having children. After two years, we really wanted a child, but couldn't get pregnant. Seeing that everyone around us had children, especially our friends, they all urged us to go to a hospital in the county to check for infertility. I wonder if the check for infertility starts with the man or the woman?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, for infertility testing, both partners need to abstain from sex for three to five days before going to the hospital for the examination. The male needs to have a semen quality analysis, while the female needs to have tests for six sex hormones, basal metabolic rate, and ovarian function, among others. It is recommended that you and your partner go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination to identify the cause of infertility, and then receive targeted treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery of health!
