What occurs during IVF?

It is crucial to pinpoint the specific cause of the issue before beginning IVF therapy. In order for the infertility specialist to assess and decide on the best course of action, both the male and female couples must submit to various tests.

Men's test for IVF

The IVF doctor would inspect the male patient's genitalia after performing a basic medical examination to assess his general health. Before IVF, specific examinations for males may involve:

• Semen analysis: In the lab, the semen is often collected by masturbating into a clean container. The lab receives the semen sample for examination.
• Tests for hormones: A man may also be requested to submit to a blood test so that a doctor may measure the amount of testosterone and other male hormones in his body.
• Imaging testing - In certain cases, the man is advised to have imaging tests done on his genitalia, such as an ultrasound or MRI, to see whether any abnormalities are present.

How can I get ready for IVF?
