Patient's question:
Feeling a persistent, dull discomfort in the lower abdomen, and for years now, I haven't been able to get pregnant. It's possible that there's really an issue with my fertility. I'm very anxious. Could you please tell me: What are the main treatments for female infertility?Doctor's answer:
The main reasons for female infertility are:1. Severe systemic diseases, chronic conditions, and endocrine disorders.
2. Reproductive organ diseases, which are the most common cause of infertility.
1. Abnormal growth and development, such as uterine underdevelopment and malformations, congenital absence of the vagina, transverse vaginal septum, etc., can interfere with intercourse or obstruct sperm entry.
2. Inflammations, such as vaginitis and cervicitis, can alter the vaginal pH, making it unfavorable for sperm survival. Endometritis can interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg; tubal inflammation caused by impaired tubal patency will hinder the fertilized egg.
3. Tumors, such as uterine fibroids, may sometimes block or control the fallopian tubes, increasing the chance of pregnancy; submucosal fibroids and intramural fibroids can lead to changes in the endometrium.
