I. Definition
Cervical
mucus test is the study of the cervical mucus through out menstrual
cycles. The main focus of the test is to analyze "Is the mucus is
friendly to sperm invasion or not ?". There are 2 types of cervical
test.
II. Procedure
1. Spinnbarkeit
The sample is taken from the vagina to check for the day of ovulation.
2. Postcoital test
The
test is examined within 4 hours at the doctor office or laboratory
after sexual intercourse and assuming that the male partner has a
healthy sperm production.
III. Diagnosis
a) Spinnbarkeit test
Spinnbarkeit
is a self help kit, it can be done by a woman at comfort at her own
home to exam the mucus characteristics, because the mucus consistently
change throughout menstrual cycle. If the mucus is watery and
stretchable, it means it is very close or a good chance that the
ovulation is coming.
b) Postcoital test
It is also known as
sperm-sperm mucus interaction test or Sims-Huhner test, it is done after
the Spinnbartkeit test or at the laboratory just before ovulation to
see how the sperm of the male partner swim through the watery and
stretchable mucus. If the sperm is able to swim normally then the
cervical mucus is consider friendly to sperm invasion or otherwise. If
there are no sperm are found in the cervical mucus but presented in
vagina, or sperm are found clumping, no movement or dead then the female
partner may be suspected to produce sperm hostile cervical mucus. More
analysis may be required to rule out any external factors.
