Patient's question:
When is the best time to have fertility testing?Doctor's answer:
Hello Infertility: It is divided into infertility and sterility, referring to adult couples living together with normal sexual life for more than one year without using any contraceptive measures and still not pregnant. This is called infertility. For women, factors such as the morphology of the uterus and ovaries, follicular development, ovulation status, whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, sexual hormones, anti-sperm antibodies and other immune factors, and whether there are gynecological infections are considered. Targeted tests are selected based on the patient's specific condition. For men, factors such as semen quality, color Doppler ultrasound, sexual hormone tests, seminal plasma biochemistry, and anti-sperm antibodies are considered. In some cases, further tests such as testicular puncture and biopsy may be performed based on the specific condition. Targeted tests are selected according to the specific situation. Generally, women's fallopian tube examination should be performed three days after the menstrual period is clean. Three days after the menstrual period is clean, do not have sexual life, and check well. Hormone tests should be performed on the third day of the menstrual period for the most accurate results. Ovulation detection should be performed on the tenth day of the menstrual period. For male semen tests, do not have sexual life for three days before the test.
