Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Today's routine visit arrived as scheduled, indicating that I have once again failed to conceive. Yesterday, I saw that taking azithromycin can also promote pregnancy. I wonder if my pregnancy attempt last year might have been affected by taking a large amount of azithromycin due to illness. But now, I can't just take it for no reason, can I? I really want to get a check-up to conceive as soon as possible, but the doctor only recommended a hydrotubation. Is this the only surgery that can help? Are there any other examination methods? I want to know where the cause of my infertility lies~Doctor's answer:
Azithromycin does not promote pregnancy; it is a macrolide antibiotic with effects similar to erythromycin. The previous pregnancy may have occurred after you were treated for some inflammation with this medication, and the inflammation improved, leading to pregnancy. Now, you should follow your doctor's advice for treatment. Only consider infertility if there has been no contraception and no pregnancy. In such cases, both partners should abstain from sex for three to five days and then visit the hospital for examinations. The male should undergo a semen analysis, while the female should have tests for six sex hormones, basal metabolic rate, ovarian function, and immunological tests, among others. It is recommended that you and your partner undergo a comprehensive and systematic examination at a regular hospital to identify the cause of infertility and receive targeted treatment.
