Patient's question:
I often have unprotected sex with my husband, and we always use withdrawal. Anyway, we thought if we got pregnant, we would just have the baby. But we haven't gotten pregnant despite using withdrawal. Is it possible that his sperm survival rate is low, or is there something wrong with my body?Doctor's answer:
If you have been trying to conceive for a year with normal marital life and have not taken any contraceptive measures, it cannot be diagnosed as infertility after one year of not conceiving. Not conceiving within a year is considered an abnormal phenomenon. There are many factors that can affect pregnancy, such as whether both partners' reproductive systems are normal and healthy, or whether both partners have been working excessively hard recently, whether they frequently stay up late, or whether they are mentally stressed. It is also important to check whether the woman has normal mature follicles and ovulation, whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, whether there are blockages or adhesions, and whether there are conditions such as endometritis. It is necessary to undergo a six-panel sex hormone test to see if it is normal and to rule out reproductive system diseases. Relaxing the mind can help with conception.
