Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Could you please tell me how infertility is usually treated?Doctor's answer:
This disease should not be hereditary. First, it is recommended that both partners refrain from sexual activity for three to five days and then try coitus during the ovulation period. The male-on-female position is preferred, and it is advised not to withdraw the penis immediately after intercourse. Placing a pillow under the female's hips can also enhance the chances of childbirth. Excessive frequency of sexual activity may also affect childbirth. If you have been married for two years with normal sexual activity and have not conceived, it may be necessary to consider infertility. In such cases, both partners should refrain from sexual activity for three to five days and undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital. For the male, a semen analysis is recommended, while for the female, tests for six sexual hormones, basal metabolic rate, ovarian function, and immunological tests should be conducted.
