[Current place of the Hühner test in the work-up of couple infertility].
The interest of the postcoital test (PCT) has been subject to debate in the last ten years. In France, it is considered as part of the basic fertility work-up, since it is no longer recommended as routine investigation in English literature. However, there is no evidence-based demonstration to support the test being ostracized. PCT is still useful as a diagnostic tool to control intercourse, quantify sperm concentration and evaluate sperm mobility in the cervical mucus.
