Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband and I want to go to the hospital for infertility testing, but we are currently unclear about the specific male infertility examination items. Could you explain it to us?Doctor's answer:
Two pairs of direct relatives (couples) who have normal sexual life without breastfeeding for at least 12 months and remain childless are considered infertile in women and sterile in men. If the couple faces infertility issues again, both partners need to undergo thorough examinations. Adhering to the principle of checking the male first before the female, first, the male should have a routine semen analysis after a cold period of 3-7 days, followed by a detailed gynecological pelvic examination to understand the size, position, texture, and mobility of the uterus, check for tenderness and nodules at the root of the uterosacral ligaments, and assess for any abnormal thickening and tenderness in the bilateral adnexa.
