The diagnosis of sterility involves a series of tests and evaluations:
Medical history and physical examination: A thorough medical history and physical examination are the first steps. Ovulation tracking: Methods like basal body temperature charting or ovulation predictor kits can determine if ovulation is occurring. Hormone testing: Blood tests can measure levels of hormones such as FSH, LH, prolactin, and thyroid hormones. Imaging tests: Ultrasound, hysterosalpingography (HSG), or laparoscopy can assess the condition of the reproductive organs. Endometrial biopsy: This can evaluate the uterine lining's ability to support a pregnancy.
