What are the 7 infertility tests?

We all know that infertility is a relatively complicated disease. There are currently different ways to examine infertility, which can generally be divided into seven types. Usually, the main examinations include systemic examinations and gynecological examinations, and endocrine examinations including pelvic and vaginal examinations to detect the causes of infertility.
