Patient's question:
Female, 38 years old, has always wanted to have a little baby early after getting married to her husband, but there has been no good news so far. A few days ago, she went for a check-up and found out that she has infertility. She felt like the sky was falling down. Please ask: What are the symptoms of infertility?Doctor's answer:
If a couple has been living together for more than a year with normal sexual activity and has not breastfed but remains childless, it is referred to as infertility. If infertility persists for three years, it is necessary to seek early and thorough examination and treatment. There are several causes of infertility, including factors that affect both partners such as chromosomal abnormalities, endocrine issues, and immune antibodies, as well as factors specific to the female such as tubal, uterine, or ovarian abnormalities, and male factors such as sperm quality. It is essential for both partners to visit a specialized hospital together. The examination should be conducted when the woman's menstrual period has ended 3-5 days prior, with a 5-day interval since the last sexual encounter, and should be performed on an empty stomach for a comprehensive and meticulous diagnosis to identify the cause of infertility. Scientific treatment should then be administered to help the couple conceive as soon as possible.
