Patient's question:
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: Three years ago, I had an induced abortion. Since then, I have experienced varying degrees of metrorrhagia during menstruation. Over the past year, I had unprotected intercourse without any contraceptive measures, but I have remained infertile. I am really suspecting whether I have secondary infertility. I hope the expert can advise me.First follow-up question: I have had a pelvic ultrasound examination, and the only issue found was retroverted uterus. I would like to ask, what other tests do I need to undergo? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Women of childbearing age who live together for a year, have normal sexual life, and do not take any contraceptive measures but remain childless are diagnosed with infertility. The essential conditions for pregnancy are: 1. Normal ovarian function, releasing normal eggs. 2. Normal sperm and semen from the male partner. 3. Sperm and egg can combine in the fallopian tubes, and the fertilized egg can be normally transported into the uterine cavity. 4. The endometrium is fully prepared, suitable for the development of the fertilized egg. Any abnormality in any of these steps can lead to infertility. It is recommended that both partners go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.
