Patient's question:
I'm not married yet, but my mother-in-law wants me to take an infertility test. She said they need to check everything, and after I show her the report and there are no problems, she'll let her daughter marry me. She doesn't want any dowry for me, but for my wife's sake, I can only accept it.Doctor's answer:
Hello!1. First is a general physical examination, including a physical check-up, routine blood and urine tests, liver and kidney function tests, blood sugar tests, and other microbial tests for sexually transmitted diseases.
2. Sperm analysis, with additional tests such as antisperm antibodies, sexual hormones, chromosomes, and thyroid function if necessary.
3. Examination of secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive organs.
4. Other tests, such as scrotal ultrasound and routine prostatic fluid analysis.
Patient notes:
- Abstain from sexual activity for 3–5 days before the examination.
- Preferably collect samples through masturbation to ensure all semen is obtained.
- A follow-up test 1–2 times within 2 weeks may be required.
5. The examination fee generally ranges from tens to around 100. The overall cost may vary between 1,000 to 3,000, depending on the hospital and local living standards.
