Physical examination can understand the patient's physical condition, whether there are chronic diseases or other conditions that are not suitable for IVF. At the same time, the doctor will also know the patient's medical history, including whether there has been uterine surgery, abortion, gynecological diseases, etc. in the past. This information will help doctors to formulate follow-up treatment plans.
According to the physical examination and medical history, the doctor may require the patient to carry out further examinations, such as blood routine examination, liver and kidney function examination, breast color ultrasound, etc. These tests can help eliminate potential diseases that have adverse effects on IVF, so as to ensure the safety of IVF.
2. Endocrine examination
Endocrine tests are critical to the success of IVF. Female patients usually need to monitor their menstrual cycle, including basic body temperature measurement, endometrial thickness examination, blood progesterone level measurement, etc. These monitoring can determine the patient's ovulation time and ovarian function.

3. Reproductive tract inspection
Genital tract examination is an important part of IVF. Female patients usually need to undergo hysteroscopy or laparoscopy to understand the condition of endometrium and whether there is morphological abnormality in the uterus. These tests can help determine whether the patient is suitable for IVF, and can also find and correct existing problems to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
Male patients need semen analysis to assess the number, vitality, morphology and other indicators of sperm. These indicators can help judge the fertility of men and provide a basis for doctors to develop personalized treatment plans.
4. Psychological and genetic counseling
