Patient's question:
Hello, my husband and I have been married for several years, but we have never had children. Now we really want to have a child and want to know the causes of infertility. How should we diagnose and treat infertility?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of infertility in women are primarily manifested as follows:1. Irregular menstruation: Menstruation may occur earlier or later than usual, with changes in menstrual flow volume. Excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, prolonged menstrual periods; commonly seen in luteal phase dysfunction and endometrial inflammation.
2. Abnormal vaginal discharge: Recurrent vaginal discharge, characterized by increased volume, yellow color, odor, curd-like or watery consistency, often accompanied by itching or pain in the external genitalia. These conditions are also associated with various sexually transmitted diseases, which can interfere with childbirth to varying degrees.
3. Galactorrhea in women: Milk discharge from the breasts during non-lactating periods, either spontaneously or upon manual stimulation, often suggests hypothalamic dysfunction, pituitary tumors, prolactinomas, primary hypothyroidism, chronic kidney failure, or may be caused by contraceptive pills or antihypertensive drugs such as reserpine.
