What are the ovarian infertility examination items?

Many people desire to have their own children, but there are many conditions that lead to infertility among both parties in a marriage. Ovarian infertility is the most common type. There are many examination items. Only when the cause is found can certain measures be taken for treatment. Let us now understand what the examination items for ovarian infertility are.

Hormone measurement

Gonadotropin: About 75% of patients with ovarian infertility have elevated luteinizing hormone, normal or decreased follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ≥ 3; androgens include testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and androstenedione; plasma dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate production is increased, with plasma concentration ≥ 3.3 μg/ml.

Vaginal cytology test

A higher percentage of surface cells reflects a higher estrogen level. The smears of patients with premature ovarian failure show varying degrees of low estrogen levels, or continued mild estrogen effects.

Basal body temperature measurement

After waking up every morning, the patient should not get up, and it is best to measure the body temperature with an oral temperature meter at the same time. Generally speaking, the body temperature is always around 36.5℃ before ovulation. Progesterone raises body temperature through the body temperature regulation center, causing the basal body temperature to show a biphasic pattern in the normal menstrual cycle. That is, the basal body temperature in the second half of the menstrual cycle is 0.4℃-0.6℃ higher than that in the first half, indicating that the ovarian function includes ovulation and corpus luteum formation.

Cervical mucus crystal test

Estrogen makes cervical mucus thinner, more stringy, and produces fern-like crystals. The more obvious and thicker the fern-like crystals are, the more significant the effect of estrogen is. If rows of ellipses are seen on the smear, it indicates that the hormone progesterone has been affected in addition to the action of estrogen.

The above are the examination items for ovarian infertility. Infertility is a physiological phenomenon, and there are too many conditions that lead to infertility. When checking, be sure to check carefully and find a scientific treatment method, which is the most effective. Ovarian infertility is not a difficult or complicated disease, it is a completely curable disease. So we must have confidence in defeating the disease.
