Patient's question:
I started having sex in middle school. By the time I got to university, it had been 10 years. I quit, but then I slipped back into it. I feel like my memory isn't as good as it used to be, and my skin has become dull and yellow. After getting married, I've been having sex with my wife regularly, but we're not planning to have children for now. However, we often don't use contraception, and she hasn't gotten pregnant. I want to ask the doctor if these 10 years of sexual activity have affected my fertility. What should I do? Should I quit having sex and undergo some form of treatment? Should I take medication or something else? I have a 4-year history of going to the gym, and physical therapy might also be an option. I'm asking for the doctor's help. Now, I want to bring a little life into our family and face myself, breaking this bad habit.Doctor's answer:
If sexual activity is excessive, it can lead to kidney deficiency. Over time, this may result in symptoms such as dizziness, memory decline, and hearing loss. However, currently, psychological stress seems to be a greater issue. Since you have a habit of going to the gym, your physical fitness should be good, and you are able to have normal sexual activity, the problem should not be very serious. It is recommended to relax and reduce stress. Couples can undergo pre-pregnancy health checks, with the man tested for sperm quality and the woman tested for conditions such as uterine and fallopian tube health. Confirming that everything is normal can also alleviate your current stress.
