Patient's question:
I've been married for a year, but I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I had a cervical polyp surgery three months ago. After the surgery, my menstrual cycle was normal for two months, but then it became irregular in the third month—more flow and earlier than usual. Does this affect pregnancy?Before getting married, my menstrual cycle was also irregular, just like this. An acupuncturist told me that my uterus has a cold, and it's particularly cold. How can I treat this?
Every time my husband and I have sex, there's semen leakage, and it feels like very little is entering. Does this also affect pregnancy? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the factors causing female infertility include tubal factors, accounting for 1/3 of female infertility cases; ovulation disorders, such as luteal phase deficiency, uterine factors like endometritis and uterine fibroids; cervical factors such as cervical canal stenosis and cervical erosion; and vaginal factors like candidal vaginitis and trichomoniasis.Advice: First, please don’t rush too much for both of you. Female infertility is quite common nowadays, and in most cases, there is a good chance of cure. It is recommended to seek treatment at a regular and professional infertility hospital.
Women are most fertile in the two to three days before and after ovulation. During this period, vaginal discharge significantly increases, becoming clear and transparent, resembling egg-white-like strands of mucus. Specifically, the optimal time for conception is between the second day after menstruation ends and the 12th day, when intercourse is most likely to result in pregnancy.
