Patient's question:
Hello, I have been married for four years. In these four years, my husband and I have always used withdrawal as a form of contraception, but we have never had an accidental pregnancy. I have never experienced menstrual cramps, and my periods have always been regular and normal. My husband is a driver and is also quite overweight. I wonder if there is something wrong between us.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to determine whether there is the ability to conceive. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that requires the following basic conditions: ① The female's ovaries must release mature eggs normally each month; ② The male must be able to ejaculate during intercourse, with semen containing a normal number, shape, and vitality of sperm; ③ The female's fallopian tubes must be unobstructed, allowing sperm and eggs to meet and fertilize within the tubes; ④ The fertilized egg must be able to pass through the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity and implant in the endometrium. Additionally, it is necessary to check whether there are any immunological antibodies present in both partners. If any of these steps are obstructed, infertility may occur. There are over 150 possible causes of infertility, which can exist in both partners or only in one partner. It is recommended that both partners choose a specialized hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination to identify the underlying cause, receive targeted treatment, and improve the chances of conception. Wishing you good health!
