Is it necessary to have a hysteroscopy before IVF?

Patient's question:

I've been married for several years now, and we still don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very worried that my condition might worsen. Before undergoing IVF, is a hysteroscopy examination mandatory?

Doctor's answer:

Before undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), it is not necessary to have a hysteroscopy. However, since the final step of IVF involves implanting the embryo into a woman's uterus, any abnormalities in the uterus will inevitably affect the pregnancy rate. Therefore, it is recommended to have a hysteroscopy before embryo transfer.
There are many factors that can lead to the need for assisted reproductive technology. Patients should seek timely and immediate diagnosis and treatment. It is advisable to go to a specialized hospital for treatment. Pay attention to the progression of the condition and avoid indiscriminate treatment. Additionally, focus on self-care in daily life, ensuring a healthy lifestyle and good sleep habits. I wish you a speedy recovery!
