Patient's question:
I've been married for several years now, and we still 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. Can hospitals treat infertility effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a couple has not used contraception for more than one year and remains infertile, they should undergo a thorough examination. The male partner should have a semen analysis performed 3-5 days after ejaculation. The female partner should have her hormones tested using electrochemical luminescence 3-5 days after menstruation, followed by a vaginal examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and four-dimensional color vaginal ultrasound 3-5 days after the menstrual cycle ends. These tests usually provide a diagnosis. If the cause remains undetermined, further examination with an electronic hysteroscope or laparoscope may be necessary.In addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial during infertility treatment. It is essential to avoid excessive stress and anxiety, as these can negatively impact the recovery process.
