Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Before getting married, my husband and I had sexual relations, and I once got pregnant. Because I was afraid of having a big belly (six months) at the time of marriage, I had an abortion. During the abortion, the doctor said my hemoglobin was too low (anemia) and that I shouldn't have an abortion, but I still did. We've been married for a year and a half, and we've been trying to have a child but haven't been successful yet. Is this because of me or my husband? Could my husband's frequent sexual activity also be affecting it? On average, he has early sexual activity three or four times, and during my menstrual period, he asks me to help him with masturbation.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it falls under secondary infertility. Your husband can first get checked to rule out male factors. You should also undergo a comprehensive examination. This includes a vaginal discharge flora analysis, a gynecological ultrasound, and a test for six sexual hormones. If none of these tests show abnormalities, you may consider having a tubal.
