Patient's question:
Feeling a persistent, mild discomfort in the lower abdomen, and for years now, I haven't been able to conceive. It might be that there's an issue with my fertility. I'm very anxious. Could you please tell me: What are the initial symptoms that often appear in women with infertility?Doctor's answer:
Infertility refers to a couple living together for more than one year with normal sexual life and not breastfeeding for a year without pregnancy. There are many causes of infertility. From the female perspective, it includes ovulation disorders, fallopian tube factors, uterine factors, cervical factors, vaginal and perineal factors. From the male perspective, it includes abnormal semen, sexual dysfunction, autoimmune factors, and excessive mental tension caused by strong desire for children. If the menstrual cycle is regular, it is recommended to perform basal body temperature measurement to test for menopause, and also undergo fallopian tube angiography to check the patency of the fallopian tubes. The male should first have a routine semen analysis. If pregnancy still cannot be achieved, further detailed examinations should be conducted.
