Examination of Women

Transvaginal ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries

It is performed in the first half of the menstrual cycle. It allows us to determine the size and shape of the uterus, the presence of muscle nodules (fibroids), as well as the height and quality of the uterine mucosa. It provides information on the condition of the ovaries, follicle growth, and the presence of cysts or endometriosis.

Examination of hormone levels

A blood test between days 1 and 3 of menstruation provides information about the state of the ovaries, their ability to produce mature eggs and possible responses to stimulant drugs.

Examined hormones:
- FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone),
- AHM (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) - informs about the egg supply,
- PRL (Prolactin) and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone).

Further examination on doctor's recommendation

Ultrasound Hysterosalpingography (HyCoSy) - Ambulatory ultrasound examination to determine the patency of the fallopian tubes
Hysteroscopy (HSK) - Used to detect and treat problems inside the uterus (polyps, fibroids, adhesions, septa).

Genetic testing for female infertility

These examinations are advisable for repeated spontaneous miscarriages or repeated failed IVF cycles.

Karyotype - The karyotyping of the blood verifies the presence or absence of congenital chromosomal defects in the karyotype. A female has two X sex chromosomes, a male has one X sex chromosome and one Y sex chromosome. The normal female karyotype is defined as 46,XX, the normal male karyotype as 46,XY.

Immunological testing - As part of immunology, we recommend different tests to women depending on their specific problem.
