Patient's question:
How much does infertility testing cost in Fushun, and what tests should be done?Doctor's answer:
I am a gynecologist at Fushun Zhongshan Hospital. The cost of treating infertility in the Fushun area is not fixed, as the conditions of each infertile woman vary greatly, and the causes or etiology of infertility are also diverse. Therefore, the examination fees will differ from person to person. As for the tests you mentioned, I will introduce them to you below. The doctor will select the necessary tests based on each patient's condition.1. Four basic gynecological clinical examinations: This refers to basal body temperature measurement, vaginal smear examination, cervical mucus examination, and endometrial biopsy. These four basic examination methods are simple and can be performed in the outpatient department. Through these tests, it is possible to preliminarily understand the ovarian function and the response of the reproductive organs and tissues to ovarian endocrine.
2. Tubal patency test: This includes tubal insufflation, tubal fluid test, and hysterosalpingography. It is generally scheduled 3 to 8 days after the end of menstruation.
3. Post-coital test: This test is arranged during the ovulation period or 1 to 2 days before the rise in basal body temperature.
4. Ultrasound examination: This checks the development, morphology, and position of the uterus and adnexa, as well as the presence of lesions such as endometriosis, ovarian and tubal tumors, and uterine fibroids.
5. Laparoscopic examination: Laparoscopy can be performed simultaneously with direct visualization for treatment. Therefore, laparoscopic examination is an important measure for diagnosing infertility. It allows for a more direct observation of whether there is adhesion in the abdominal cavity and the development of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
6. Hysteroscopic examination: This allows for direct observation of the of the cervical canal, uterine cavity, and bilateral fallopian tubes, and can also take biopsies under direct visualization for examination.
7. Immunological tests: If immunological infertility is suspected, blood tests for antisperm antibodies in the blood and cervical mucus antisperm antibodies can be performed.
8. Endocrine tests, sex chromatin, karyotype, and other laboratory tests: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), and estradiol can be measured by fasting blood tests during ovulation and the pre-ovulatory phase. Progesterone (P) should be detected in the mid-high phase of the basal body temperature. If genetic abnormalities are suspected, both partners should undergo buccal mucosal chromatin and blood karyotype tests.
The above are common infertility examination items for infertile women. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you.
