Patient's question:
I've been divorced from my husband for five years, but we've never had children. Now my parents are pressuring me, so I want to take some time to go to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination to get pregnant earlier. I'd like to consult the doctor first: What should be carefully checked for female infertility?Doctor's answer:
For infertile female patients, a routine and meticulous examination of the external genitalia and vagina is necessary to assess any abnormalities in the birth canal. Additionally, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the uterine adnexa is required to evaluate the size and shape of the uterus, the condition of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, as well as to monitor the growth and development of follicles. A hysterosalpingography or tubal fluid test should also be conducted to check the patency of the fallopian tubes. Furthermore, a comprehensive six-panel sex hormone test is necessary. For infertility, both partners should undergo joint examinations.
