Patient's question:
We have been living together for two years without getting pregnant. Two months ago, a check-up revealed some inflammation, and the doctor prescribed medication and administered intravenous drips. Now, two months have passed, and we still haven't conceived. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
All couples living together for more than one year without taking contraceptive measures and unable to conceive are referred to as infertile. There are many factors or causes that can lead to infertility in men and women. For women, these include ovary-related infertility (neurostimulatory factors, ovarian diseases, systemic diseases), fallopian tube-related infertility, uterine infertility, cervical infertility, vaginal infertility, immunological infertility, and infertility of unknown causes, among others. For men, these include congenital abnormalities of the reproductive organs, infections of the reproductive system, endocrine factors, sexual dysfunction, abnormal semen and sperm, and so on. A comprehensive examination is necessary.
