Patient's question:
I can't get pregnant. I've been trying for over a year and I don't know what's causing the infertility. I've been married for three years, and my menstrual cycle has always been quite normal—normal color and normal amount. But why can't I get pregnant? What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Hello, lady,The main causes of female infertility are as follows:
1. Tubal factors: Tubal elongation or stenosis, tubal inflammation leading to lumen occlusion, hydrops, or adhesion, all hinder the movement of sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs.
2. Ovarian factors: Factors affecting follicular development or egg release, such as incomplete ovarian development, luteal dysfunction, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, or ovarian tumors, can cause infertility.
3. Congenital or acquired abnormalities of the reproductive organs, or diseases of the reproductive organs, obstruct the patency and function of the reproductive tract from the vulva to the fallopian tubes, hindering the meeting of sperm and eggs, leading to infertility.
4. Immunological factors: Refers to the presence of anti-sperm antibodies in the female reproductive tract or serum, causing sperm to agglutinate, lose vitality, or die, resulting in infertility or subfertility.
5. Infertility caused by sexual dysfunction, lack of sexual knowledge, systemic diseases, and unknown reasons accounts for about one-third of the causes of infertility.
