Patient's question:
It's the same way. After declining to severe anemia, I went to People's Hospital in November for a hysteroscopy and was told it was endometrial polyps. After a comprehensive, I took Depo-Provera (dydrogesterone and ethinyl estradiol) for 6 months. My period was normal from December to October 2010, but I didn't get pregnant. My period was due on October 3, but it didn't come until November 22. Then I went to the hospital and was prescribed dydrogesterone, and my period finally came on November 30. On December 6, I went to the Southern Hospital and was told my sperm count was greater than 500. Now I'm taking herbal medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. The doctor said it will take at least three to six months. Hello, could you please refer to an authoritative expert and help me understand how to treat it better? Do I need any other tests? Thank you for your prompt reply. I appreciate your help in advance.Doctor's answer:
Hello: In your case, menstrual irregularity is just a symptom, indicating that your ovarian function has once again encountered obstacles. It is necessary to conduct a clear and detailed examination of your ovarian function and the growth and development of your follicles. Because menstrual irregularity can affect follicular development and ovulation disorders, this can directly lead to infertility. However, menstrual irregularity is not the only factor that causes infertility. Both partners must meet the following basic conditions: the ovaries must release normal eggs, the fallopian tubes must be unobstructed and capable of picking up eggs, the endometrium must be suitable for implantation of the fertilized egg, and male sperm and semen must be normal. Any disruption in any of these stages can lead to infertility. Both partners should go to a formal specialized hospital for a detailed examination, identify the root cause, and receive appropriate treatment.
