Patient's question:
I have been unable to conceive for three years after getting married. My husband and I both had blood tests for infertility. All of my test results were negative. However, my husband had one positive result for antiovarian antibodies. According to the information I researched, it is generally women who have positive antiovarian antibodies. But why would my husband also have them?Could you please explain: What exactly are antiovarian antibodies? Could they be one of the reasons why I have not been able to get pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, a positive ovarian antibody will not affect pregnancy. If you have never been pregnant, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination. The male partner should abstain from sex for 2-7 days before a semen analysis, while the female partner should undergo an electrochemical endocrine test on days 2-5 of her menstrual cycle. A four-dimensional vaginal color Doppler ultrasound and digital dynamic hysterosalpingography should be performed 3-7 days after her menstrual period to basically identify the cause of infertility. If these tests are normal, further examinations may be considered, such as coital test, etc. For infertility that cannot be diagnosed, laparoscopic exploration is necessary to clarify the cause.
