title: Office gynecology. Diagnostic survey of the infertile couple.
abstract: The diagnostic survey of the infertile couple usually takes about three months. After semen analysis, the husband is referred for general and urologic examination. The wife is given a general physical and pelvic examination and returns during the next two months for ovulation studies. Tubal patency tests are also performed and may in themselves be therapeutic.
