Patient's question:
I have been married for over three years, but we haven't had any children yet. I'm worried that something might be wrong with me, so I wanted to ask—is infertility easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, infertility is a condition where a couple living together in a committed relationship and having normal sexual intercourse for more than a year without using any form of contraception remains childless. If it is caused by female factors, it is called infertility. Although the woman can conceive, various reasons may lead to miscarriage or embryonic arrest, which is then referred to as subfertility. If it is caused by male factors leading to the partner's infertility, it is called male infertility.Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) primarily affects female fertility in two ways: First, when a woman has PCOS, multiple eggs may develop simultaneously, but none mature and are released during ovulation, leading to infertility. Second, the outer layer of the ovary becomes thick and dense, preventing some mature eggs from breaking through to be released. This clinical condition is called luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS), where the quality of the eggs is poor and pregnancy.
In cases of asthenozoospermia, the sperm have certain quality issues. Even if the sperm can fertilize the egg, premature birth or miscarriage during pregnancy may occur, all of which may be caused by the low quality of the sperm.
Pregnancy is a joint effort for both partners, and any issue with either can affect normal fertility. It is recommended that you and your partner undergo joint examination and treatment at a regular and professional infertility hospital. Before treatment, it is essential to identify the root cause and receive targeted therapy. Only in this way can effective treatment be achieved, and your dream of having a baby can be realized.
