Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Having had sexual activity for 6 years but never getting pregnant? History of treatment and effectiveness: Had an ultrasound done. Both the uterus and fallopian tubes were normal. What kind of help do you want: Will I have the chance to be a mother?]Doctor's answer:
In your case, if there are only a few instances where you did not take contraceptive measures, it is possible not to conceive because women have physiological infertility periods. One week after the end of menstruation and one week before the onset of menstruation are considered physiological safe periods, during which pregnancy is unlikely even without contraceptive measures! However, it cannot be ruled out that the cause is a medical condition. If you also do not conceive during sexual intercourse during your ovulation period, it indicates that there is a health issue. Common causes include:1. Tubal factors: Conditions such as excessively long or narrow fallopian tubes, fallopian tube inflammation leading to blockage, accumulation of fluid, or adhesion can hinder the movement of sperm, eggs, or fertilized eggs. Tubal diseases account for 25% of female infertility and are a major cause of infertility.
2. Ovarian factors: Common issues include incomplete ovarian development, early ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian tumors, etc. These conditions can affect follicle development and hinder egg release, negatively impacting fertility.
3. Ovulation dysfunction: Symptoms such as menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), hirsutism (excessive hair growth), and obesity may be caused by ovulation dysfunction. This is characterized by the absence of ovulation during the menstrual cycle. If ovulation does not occur for a long time, excessive endometrial hyperplasia may increase the risk of breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Therefore, sufficient attention should be given to those with ovulation dysfunction, and active examination and treatment should be conducted. It is recommended that both partners visit the hospital for early examination.
