Fertility consultation, please bring all previous tests!

Many couples who have been infertile for many years go around to the doctor and inadvertently have many tests, many lab tests, and even checkups or therapeutic surgeries, such as hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. If still on the way to seek medical help, it is recommended to organize all these past examinations, laboratory tests and surgical records into different categories and bring them to the hospital for the doctor’s reference. Some couples will say: the doctor will not look; some will say: the doctor is looking, not even a minute of eyes on the sweep past; in short, think that the doctor does not pay attention to, or think that the doctor will have to do another test, bring also useless. In fact, couples who encounter obstacles to fertility really need to pay attention to the matter of keeping information, there are tests that only need to be done once in a lifetime, such as chromosomes. For example, a couple with 3 recurrent miscarriages came for consultation. During the consultation he/she couple said that the woman had some chromosomal problems, but not only did she not bring the test report sheet, but also said that the chromosomes were done locally 4 years ago – and lost. So the money was spent again to do it again, and it turned out that it was the woman who was chromosomally balanced translocated, which was indeed a bit of a problem: he/she couple could have a normal child, but the chances of that were theoretically only 1 in 18. he/she couple could also have a child who was apparently normal, but was actually chromosomally balanced translocated like the mother, and the chances of that were also theoretically 1 in 18. Obviously: for this couple This chromosomal report is important for the couple who had recurrent miscarriages. As for the follow-up treatment, there are also various options available, which is another topic. This couple was very fortunate to not have a miscarriage in their 4th pregnancy and had an amniocentesis at 18 weeks of gestation, and very fortunately, it was a normal child. And when we look back at this case: slightly sorry for the couple is that he/she both had contraception for 4 whole years before because of the fear of having another miscarriage. Therefore, please pay attention to the collection of your previous tests and surgical reports. Although many tests may be useless, such as a routine blood test, a routine urine test, an ultrasound test years ago, perhaps the specialist in a large hospital will take a glance – just for a few seconds or a minute or two – and say which test report is useless, you do not need to doubt: because, useful or useless, the doctor Sometimes it’s just a matter of looking at it for a second or two – like a routine blood test, a routine urine test, an ultrasound test from years ago …… However, because you are not a doctor, you don’t know what works and what doesn’t, so on the way to seek medical help, please collect and organize all of them with you.
