Patient's question:
There was once a period of chaos, and two plus signs of inflammation, everything else was normal. I'm unclear about the past treatment and its effects: It has been over a year since the diagnosis, and I have taken medication for it, but during follow-up tests, it still appears. Now, I haven't treated it anymore. I have been unable to conceive for over a year now, and the doctor said it has little impact on pregnancy.I want to ask, since I have inflammation, should I not buy Jinqi capsules myself from a pharmacy? I've seen ads for it on TV? If I take this medicine, should I not try to conceive in the meantime? Why is it so difficult for me to get pregnant? Are these issues related? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to go to a formal hospital to address the inflammation. Currently, the cause of your infertility is unclear, but it may be related to the inflammation. However, other causes cannot be ruled out. Infertility is not a simple disease; it is a comprehensive condition caused by over 150 different factors. These factors include: issues with the ovaries, diseases of the fallopian tubes, uterine cavity, cervix, vagina, and immune antibodies (over 20 different types). Additionally, there are male factors such as abnormal semen (e.g., non-liquefaction, inflammation, acidic or alkaline conditions), blocked spermatic ducts, genital deformities, and systemic diseases. Furthermore, there are common factors between both partners, such as a lack of sexual knowledge, immune factors (antibodies present in both partners), and psychological reasons (e.g., excessive stress).
