Patient's question:
I have been married for five years and have not become pregnant yet. My menstrual cycle is irregular, and I often work night shifts. My in-laws really want a grandson and have bought a lot of tonics and supplements, but none of them have worked. They want to take me to the hospital for a thorough check-up. What is the process of a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
If you haven't been able to get pregnant for five years, it's advisable to consider infertility. In this case, both partners should go to the antenatal center for medical examinations. Men primarily undergo a semen analysis, while women receive comprehensive gynecological examinations. Some tests are performed during the menstrual period, such as the six sex hormone tests, while others require the menstrual cycle to be complete, such as cervical examinations and fallopian tube. It's necessary to consult a doctor first and then schedule the various examinations.
