Hysteroscopy is not mandatory for IVF, but should be performed according to individual circumstances and medical advice.
Hysteroscopy can visualize the cervical canal, uterine cavity and tubal openings, and should be operated by a professional doctor. It is suitable for suspected uterine adhesions and malformations, and unexplained infertility. While IVF refers to in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer technique, hysteroscopy is not mandatory for infertility caused by male factor infertility, ovulation abnormality and other reasons.
For unexplained infertility, it is necessary to carry out hysteroscopy as prescribed by the doctor, and then carry out embryo transfer under the doctor’s guidance. After the transfer, it is also necessary to pay attention to rest, continue to give luteal support as prescribed by the doctor, and carry out a blood or urine pregnancy test to determine the pregnancy 2 weeks after the embryo transfer, and ultrasonography at 4~5 weeks to determine a normal pregnancy.
Patients undergoing IVF are advised to follow the doctor’s instructions for pregnancy preparation treatment.
