Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Why do pregnant women with type O blood also need to know their partner's blood type?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pregnant women with O-type blood may also have hemolytic reactions with other blood types. The blood typing test is used to determine if hemolysis may occur or to differentiate autoimmune diseases. There are many causes of infertility, so it is recommended that both partners investigate the cause. For women, it could be fallopian tube blockage, while for men, it could be poor sperm liquefaction or oligospermia/azospermia. These conditions can all lead to infertility. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
