Patient's question:
I've been married for two years. I got pregnant once a year ago, but haven't been able to conceive since then. Recently, I had a thorough check-up and found a family history of diabetes. I'm not taking any medication, but my fasting blood sugar is over 10. Is it possible that I'm infertile?? Should I have some tests done? Is it infertility?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, high blood sugar may affect fertility, but it doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. In your case, you can undergo a comprehensive health check-up. Recurrent miscarriage requires specific examination items. For recurrent miscarriage or repeated biochemical pregnancies, it is recommended to check the karyotypes of both partners. The male partner should also be tested for semen and sperm morphology, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection. The female partner is advised to check for Toxoplasma, rubella, blood sugar, insulin resistance, thyroid function, six sex hormones,, antinuclear antibodies, anticardiolipin antibodies, coagulation function, D-dimer, and platelet aggregation. If the female partner has type O blood and the male partner has a non-O blood type, it is recommended to further check for blood type antibodies.
