When undergoing fertility tests, women should pay attention to the following aspects to ensure the accuracy of test results and their own health

I. Timing

• Avoid menstrual periods: Women should visit the hospital for examinations 3 to 7 days after the end of menstruation, as the endometrial thickness is moderate at this time, facilitating the examination of the normality of the endometrium and understanding of ovulation. Examinations during menstruation may affect the accuracy of results, such as blood in vaginal discharge potentially interfering with tests.
• Examination timing: Certain tests, such as hormone level tests, require blood sampling during days 2 to 5 of the menstrual cycle, while ovulation monitoring typically starts on day 10 of the menstrual cycle, with B-mode ultrasonography used to observe follicle development.

II. Lifestyle Adjustments

• Avoid sexual intercourse: Women should refrain from sexual activity for one week prior to the examination to prevent semen from covering normal cells and potentially causing abnormal test results.
• Maintain cleanliness: Take a bath the day before the examination to keep the body clean, but avoid cleaning the vagina internally as this may affect test results.
• Dietary considerations: Maintain a light diet for 3 to 5 days before the examination, avoiding oily and high-sugar foods. Additionally, fast for at least 8 hours the night before the examination to ensure that blood components are not affected by food intake during venous blood sampling.
• Avoid baths: Refrain from taking baths before the examination to prevent bacterial infections.

III. Psychological Preparation

• Relax: Women should maintain a good mindset before undergoing fertility tests, avoiding excessive tension or anxiety. Fertility tests are common clinical procedures that generally have no adverse effects on the body, so there is no need for excessive concern.

IV. Other Precautions

• Wear loose clothing: On the day of the examination, wear loose clothing to avoid tight clothing that may hinder examination procedures.
• Follow doctor's instructions: Before undergoing fertility tests, consult with a doctor in detail to understand the specific test items and precautions, and strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
• Treat inflammation: If women have gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis or cervicitis, they should receive treatment before undergoing fertility tests to avoid affecting test results and fetal health.
