Are There Any Additional Medical Tests Required for Somali Patients Before IVF in India?
Somali couples dealing with infertility prefer IVF treatment in India, as it has become a trusted and affordable solution. India not only offers advanced ART treatments but also the best IVF doctors who offer treatments at affordable costs. However, before beginning the treatment, there are a few important medical tests required for Somali patients to ensure a smooth and safe IVF journey in India.
we’ll explain which tests are necessary, whether they should be done in Somalia or India, and how Total IVF Solutions helps patients through every step.
Why Are Pre-IVF Medical Tests Important?
Before starting IVF treatment in India, doctors here need to understand your reproductive health, hormonal balance, and any underlying conditions that could affect success. These tests help:
• Identify the cause of infertility (male or female factor)
• Choose the best IVF protocol
• Prevent complications during treatment
• Improve the chances of pregnancy
Without these tests, the IVF process can be unpredictable or may even fail, so it’s crucial to get these tests done before starting treatment in India.
Key Medical Tests for Somali Patients Before IVF
Here’s a list of the most common medical tests recommended for both partners:
| Patient Type | Test/Screening | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Female Patients | Hormonal Profile (FSH, LH, AMH, Prolactin, TSH, Estradiol) | To check ovarian reserve and hormone balance |
| Ultrasound Scan | To examine the uterus, ovaries, and follicle count | |
| Hysterosalpingography (HSG) | Special X-ray to check for fallopian tube blockages | |
| Infectious Disease Screening (HIV, Hepatitis B & C, VDRL, Rubella) | To rule out infections that can affect fertility | |
| Thyroid and Blood Sugar Tests | To identify conditions that could affect fertility | |
| Male Patients | Semen Analysis | To evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology |
| Hormone Test (Testosterone, FSH, LH) | To assess sperm production | |
| Infectious Disease Screening (HIV, Hepatitis, Syphilis) | To rule out infections that can affect fertility |
Should These Tests Be Done in Somalia or India?
Many Somali patients ask whether they should do these medical tests in Somalia or in India before starting IVF.
Here’s the best approach:
• Basic Tests (Blood Tests, Semen Analysis, Hormone Tests): These tests can be done in Somalia before travel. It will save your time and will help IVF doctors in India to speed up the process.
• Advanced Imaging (Ultrasound, HSG, or Specialized Scans): It’s better to repeat or confirm these tests, as IVF hospitals in India use high-precision ultrasound and modern diagnostic equipment.
Once Somali patients arrive in India, Total IVF Solutions will arrange all the tests for you before starting the stimulation stage.
