Why prepare for a visit??

We understand, that the first step to solving the problem is the most difficult. We take the problems of our patients very seriously and strive to do more than just help, and to achieve the result in the most effective way. Such a result depends on the doctor's work and the conscious participation of the patient, therefore, we have prepared a list of rules and recommendations, which will make it possible to get the maximum benefit from the initial consultation of a reproductive specialist.

Rules of preparation

1. Laboratory studies

The reproductive specialist chooses the optimal method of treatment in accordance with the collected anamnesis and the patient's medical history. In particular, the choice of strategy is also influenced by the results of hormonal blood tests (for a woman) and spermograms (for a man).

To save your time, we recommend preparing the following laboratory test results for the initial consultation:

Women:

  • LG (luteinizing hormone)
  • PRL (prolactin)
  • E2 (estradiol)
  • TSH (thyrotropin hormone)

To a man:

  • Spermogram (Analysis of seminal fluid; not older than 3 months)(we advise you to have the result at the initial consultation)

Rules and advice regarding the initial consultation of a reproductive specialist

If you are late for the consultation, let us know in advance

In case of delay, inform our contact center about the estimated time, when you will be in the clinic.

  • consultation on the same day, but later, at the same specialist
  • consultation on the same day, but at another specialist
  • consultation on another day with any specialist.

The consultation lasts approx 60 minutes and consists of 3 stages
