Patient's question:
Patient Age: Female; 21, almost 3 years now. Because of my foolishness and low-paying job, I dare not go to the hospital now. I'm about to get married to my boyfriend. I'm worried about this problem that often troubles me. Since I started having sex, I've never used contraception. I haven't even taken any medicine. I've seen the symptoms of gynecological diseases in books, but I haven't been treated. Am I unable to get pregnant? Or what other factors or causes? Please, good people, help me.Doctor's answer:
Hello: In medicine, infertility is defined as the inability of a couple of reproductive age who live together for more than one year, have normal sexual life, and have not taken any contraceptive measures to conceive. Your situation falls under infertility, and it is recommended that you go to a specialized hospital to identify the cause of infertility and receive targeted treatment. Pregnancy is a process that requires review, and it needs to have normal dominant follicles, normal sperm, normal fallopian tube and ovary function, a suitable uterine environment for the implantation of the fertilized egg, antibodies, and other factors. Infertility can exist in both partners or in one partner of the couple, so it is recommended that both partners undergo examination simultaneously. Wishing you good health and a successful pregnancy.
