What Is Post Coital Test (PCT)?

Coital, which is derived from the Latin word "coitus," which implies sexual union, refers to anything connected to or related to sexual activity. Now that the definition of "coital" has been clarified, let's learn more about post-coital testing, or PCT as it is sometimes called. The PCT,  assesses the relationship between sperm and cervical mucus, which is necessary for conception.

When a couple is having trouble getting pregnant, the post-coital test is frequently suggested as part of the evaluation. Many medical professionals believe that the PCT is no longer necessary because so many other more recent tests are now accessible with more reliable results. The PCT is an old test.

Other Names:

Huhner test

Why it is done?

If the female partner is unable to become pregnant, PCT is typically performed to eliminate any cervical-related problems. After various tests have shown that the female is ovulating normally and the male's semen analysis is normal, doctors may advise the post-coital test.

What is the procedure for Post Coital Test?

The female partner is physically examined with the aid of a speculum during the postcoital test. Then the cervix is cleaned, and a small sample of cervical mucus is removed and submitted for analysis. The female is not in any way harmed by the pelvic exam that was performed. To ensure that the test is conducted at the time of ovulation, a PCT is frequently performed in conjunction with a pelvic ultrasound. The quality of the cervical mucus, as well as the number and motility of the sperm, are next thoroughly evaluated under a microscope. Depending on the city or even the lab, the price of a post-coital test can vary, but an average of 250–350 rupees can be anticipated.

How does one prepare for the test? 

The PCT's timing must be perfect. The test is not regarded as genuine if it is carried out too soon after or too far before ovulation.

After ovulation, PCT must be completed within 24 hours.

1. If the post-coital test is carried out 4-6 hours after sexual activity, it will be regarded as valid.
2. It is crucial to engage in sexual activity when ovulating in order for the test to be regarded genuine.
3. It is necessary to refrain from sexual activity for 113 days prior to the test.

Required Documents:

• A doctor's prescription. 
• A valid government ID.
