There are many
medical tests that are frequently performed on an apparently infertile couple. First of
all, doctors will attempt to determine what the problem is. Often, the first step is to
check the sperm count of the male partner. This is probably the least invasive test.
Both partners, but especially the female partner, are likely to undergo extensive
physical exams. Sometimes the problem is simple, like a low sperm count or low sperm
motility. It could also be something as simple as a ph imbalance or other minor issue
with the female. If the problem is not found, other more invasive tests may be
performed. If a couple decides to undergo fertility treatments, the cause of the
infertility needs to be found first. Eventually, many couples decide to undergo hormone
therapy or in vetro fertilization. Hormone therapy is relatively noninvasive, although
it might not feel that way for the female. In vetro fertilization often involves an egg
extraction procedure which is invasive.
