Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello!I really want to be a mother right now, but I haven’t been able to get pregnant. I’ve been worrying if I can’t have children. That’s why I came especially for a consultation!
Last Spring Festival, I got pregnant, but because of work and other reasons, I didn’t plan to have the baby. Later, I had a medication-induced miscarriage, but now I really regret it.
After the medication-induced miscarriage, my body has been very healthy, and my periods have been regular. However, sometimes I had sex during my period. Is it possible that I’m infertile because I had sex during my period? But when I went to the hospital for a check-up, there were no gynecological problems, yet I still couldn’t get pregnant. So I’m worried.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, couples who live together after marriage for a year with normal sexual life and do not take contraceptive measures are considered infertile if they do not get pregnant after more than a year. There are many causes of infertility and it cannot be considered solely as a problem of one partner in the couple. The reasons leading to female infertility are numerous, such as blocked fallopian tubes, diseases of the uterus or ovaries (such as polycystic ovaries, ovarian tumors, retroverted uterus, uterine hypoplasia, endometritis, etc.), endocrine diseases, immune diseases, etc. If men have conditions such as blocked vas deferens, epididymal disorders, or abnormal semen, they can also cause infertility. Both partners should undergo physical examinations at regular hospitals. If there are related diseases, they should follow medical advice and receive reasonable treatment. Wishing you health!
