Infertility Treatment Specialist & Doctor in Tarzana, Encino, & Northridge
Health care professionals diagnose infertility by doing an infertility workup, a series of tests conducted in both the man and woman. The tests are done to check if the woman is ovulating and to look for any abnormalities in her uterus or fallopian tubes. A basic workup is usually done within one or two menstrual cycles. In men, the infertility workup involves performing a semen analysis to evaluate the quality and quantity of the man's sperm.
The medical history is an important part of the workup for both partners. It provides helpful clues about lifestyle and other factors that may be associated with infertility. It's very important for the physician making the diagnosis to know, for example, whether the woman has ever had endometriosis or episodes of pelvic inflammatory disease, or if the man has ever had testicular mumps or experienced an injury or trauma to his testicles.
Sometimes, during the medical history and initial physical exam, the physician may ask questions about the couple's sexual habits to make sure that sexual intercourse is indeed happening in a way that allows for conception.
