Patient's question:
After a year of infertility, I had a tubal patency test which showed it was open. I had six hormone tests, all of which were normal. I had an ultrasound for five months, and during two of those months, there were follicles that developed on their own. For three months, there were no follicles at all. My periods come every 40 to 45 days. A detailed ultrasound examination revealed that both ovaries had developed into polycystic changes. My husband's sperm count is also normal. Is there anything else I need to be tested for?Doctor's answer:
You can perform a test combining cervical mucus and semen to determine if there are anti-sperm antibodies in the cervical mucus. It is recommended to have intercourse during the normal ovulation period when the follicles are developing to reduce the chances of conception. If the follicular development is abnormal, ovulation-stimulating drugs can be used to induce menopause, but menopausal drugs should not be used long-term. Generally, they are alternated for three months. For patients with tubal issues, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication.
