Patient's question:
Brother and sister-in-law have been married for a long time and haven't had any children. My brother is worried that the disease is in his body, so he asked me to go with him for a check-up. He wants to understand in advance what the detailed tests for infertility are.Doctor's answer:
If a couple has been trying to conceive for less than a year without success, they need to undergo relevant examinations to determine the causes of infertility. The causes of infertility can be divided into male factors and female factors, and both partners need to be examined.For the male partner, a semen analysis is primarily conducted. It is generally most appropriate to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination after a cold period of 3 to 7 days.
For the female partner, the examination is divided into menstrual cycle examinations and non-menstrual cycle examinations, so the timing of the follow-up examination can vary. During the menstrual cycle, the main tests include a six-panel sex hormone test. After the menstrual period ends, tests such as vaginal microecological examinations and TCT tests are primarily conducted.
