Patient's question:
Female, 23 years old, I've been married for two years but haven't been able to conceive. I want to ask if there are any solutions? My menstrual cycle isn't very regular; sometimes it comes every two months, and sometimes every three months. Recently, it's been coming even less often. I've taken Chinese medicine a few times to regulate it, and it helped a bit, but then it didn't work as well anymore.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to understand the conditions necessary for conception. The male's testicles must produce normal sperm and be able to enter the female's vagina. After entering the vagina, the sperm must maintain its viability, pass through the cervix and uterus, and reach the fallopian tubes. The female's ovaries must be able to produce normal eggs, which can enter the fallopian tubes, combine with sperm, and be called a zygote. The zygote travels through the fallopian tube into the uterine cavity, at which point the uterine lining must be suitable for the implantation and development of the zygote.
