Examination for Female Infertility

Examination for female infertility can include hormone tests conducted from the 2nd to the 5th day of menstruation. Some other tests, such as ultrasound and gynecological examinations, need to be done during non-menstrual periods to determine the causes of infertility. Not all tests need to be done during menstruation, so there is no need to wait until menstruation specifically.

1. Hormone tests on the 2nd to 5th day of menstruation. Hormone tests can be performed on the 2nd to 5th day of menstruation, mainly to evaluate the hormone status of the early follicular phase of ovarian reserve function, which starts counting from the first day of menstruation.

2. Examination items during non-menstrual periods. Gynecological and ultrasound examinations can be done during non-menstrual periods without affecting the results. If the purpose of ultrasound is to evaluate ovarian reserve function, i.e., basic antral follicles, it should also be done during menstruation. If the ultrasound is aimed at checking the state of the endometrium, it needs to be done during non-menstrual periods. Some female infertility examination items are conducted during menstruation, while others are done during non-menstrual periods.

3. Other examination times. During non-menstrual periods, fallopian tube examination and gynecological color Doppler ultrasonography can also be performed. If a color Doppler ultrasonography is to be performed, it should be done 3-7 days after menstruation to understand the condition of the uterine appendages and pelvic cavity. Other examinations for infertility do not have specific time restrictions. Blood tests for the seven infertility-related items and eugenics can be done in the morning on an empty stomach. Both male and female partners need to undergo examinations, and the female partner tends to have more examination items, including physical health checks.
