Patient's question:
Got married for about half a year, always actively trying to conceive, but why can't I get pregnant? Is this infertility? What tests should I do and what kind of tests?Doctor's answer:
If you have had normal sexual activity for more than a year without using contraception, it is important to consider the possibility of infertility. It is recommended that both partners visit the hospital for related examinations to determine the specific cause. Generally, it is advised to first go to an infertility clinic for testing. Whether traditional Chinese medicine treatment or a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment is appropriate will be decided based on your specific situation after the examination.One week before coming to the hospital for the examination, avoid sexual activity. Men should undergo a semen analysis to check the quality of their sperm. Women are recommended to come to the hospital for infertility testing within 3-7 days after their menstrual period ends. This allows for examination of the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and antibodies, helping to identify the cause and facilitate timely treatment, which can lead to easier recovery. Choosing a reputable hospital for the examination provides better assurance.
