November 21, 2009 in Pregnancy, Women's Health by Dr. Peter
Fertility tests are done to determine the cause of infertility and whether the problem lies with the male or female partner or both. After proper history taking and physical examination, the following tests and procedures are advised :
- complete blood count
- grouping and Rhesus factor
- German measles (rubella)
- hepatitis B
- HIV
- syphilis
Based on the results of these tests, further special testing and other investigative procedures may be necessary for each partner. The findings will determine the appropriate infertility treatment that should be considered for the individual or couple.
