Patient's question:
After getting married to my husband, I have always wanted to have a little baby as soon as possible, but there has been no good news so far. A few days ago, I went for a check-up and found out that I have infertility. I felt like the sky was falling. Please ask:What are the specific harms of infertility?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a couple has not used contraception for more than a year and remains infertile, they should undergo specific examinations. For the male partner, a semen analysis is typically conducted after a 3-5 day period of cold sensitivity. For the female partner, hormonal tests are performed using electrochemical luminescence during a 3-5 day period, followed by a vaginal examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and 4D vaginal color Doppler imaging. These tests usually provide a diagnosis. If the cause remains undetermined, further detailed examinations such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy may be necessary.For infertile patients, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. This includes maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, female patients are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
