Patient's question:
My friend doesn't know what the reason is, but they have been trying to conceive for over a year and still haven't become pregnant, so they feel very anxious. The friend wants to know how long it takes to be considered infertile?Doctor's answer:
1. Normal sexual life, no contraceptive measures taken. Infertility after one year of marriage is called infertility, requiring both husband and wife to go to the infertility clinic for thorough examination. It is a mutual matter. Not a one-sided issue. Both must be examined simultaneously.2. If you have normal sexual life for two years, without contraception and without pregnancy, then infertility may be considered. In this case, both the man and the woman should go to the hospital for a three to five-day cold test. The man should have a semen test to assess fertility, while the woman should have a checkup for six sex hormones, basal metabolic rate, ovarian function, and immunological tests, etc. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital with your partner for a comprehensive and systematic examination to identify the cause of infertility and provide targeted treatment.
