Diagnosis for Reproductive Health Issues
* Ovulation testing – This test is used to determine your fertile days so you can maximize your efforts in trying to conceive. It detects a surge in the luteinizing hormone (LH), which occurs a day or two before ovulation.
* Hysterosalpingography – This test evaluates the shape of the uterus and checks how much the fallopian tubes are open. It is also used to investigate miscarriages due to problems in the uterus. If abnormalities are found, there are treatments that can improve fertility, possibly by flushing out and opening the fallopian tubes.
* Ovarian reserve testing – This test helps determine the quality and quantity of eggs available for ovulation.
* Imaging tests – With an ultrasound, the uterine or fallopian tube diseases are examined. Sometimes a sonohysterogram also called a saline infusion sonogram, is used to do a detailed analysis of the uterus which can’t be seen on a regular ultrasound.
