Patient's question:
I met my husband when I was in university, and we never took any contraceptive measures while dating. However, I have never been pregnant. Now that we are preparing to get married, my family elders keep urging me, which is really annoying. Please ask: What are the methods for treating female infertility?Doctor's answer:
You and your wife have been living together for 1 year, having normal sexual life, and have never taken any contraceptive measures. The inability to conceive is called infertility. Infertility is divided into primary infertility and secondary infertility. I don't know what the reason for your infertility is now. Infertility is not a simple disease; it is a comprehensive condition caused by more than 150 different reasons.Factors related to the female: problems with the ovaries, diseases of the fallopian tubes, uterine cavity, cervix, vagina, and immunological antibodies (more than 20 different types) etc.
Factors related to the male: abnormal semen (seminal fluid not liquefying, inflammation, being too acidic or alkaline), blockage of the spermatic ducts, genital malformations, and systemic diseases. Additionally, there are common factors for both partners: lack of sexual knowledge, immunological factors (antibodies present in both partners), and psychological reasons (such as excessive stress).
