Patient's question:

Chongqing Wanzhou Infertility Consultation: What tests are needed for infertility diagnosis?

Doctor's answer:

Wanzhou Mei Fu · Chan Yi · Yuan reminds you: First, check if the male has a history of chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis, mumps, etc., and understand their sexual habits as well as whether there are any sexual difficulties. Examine the external genitalia for any deformities or lesions. The most important test is the routine examination of semen to determine if the sperm abnormality rate is too high or if the sperm count is too low. Also, check for any testicular diseases and prostate diseases.
For the female, the second sex characteristics should be examined to see if they are well-developed, as well as the development of the internal and external genitalia, any deformities, inflammation, or lactation. Finally, special gynecological examinations should be conducted, such as ovarian function tests, including whether ovulation occurs and the function of the corpus luteum. These include tubal patency tests, hysteroscopy, post-coital tests, cervical mucus and semen combination tests.
