Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semen analysis is usually the first test to be performed because it is least costly and noninvasive. Endometrial biopsy determines whether the endometrium is responding to ovarian stimulation. A testicular biopsy is an invasive examination using a local anesthetic. Hysterosalpingography uses a contrast medium to evaluate the structure and patency of the uterus and tubes.
