Patient's question:
A close friend was diagnosed with infertility, but she and her boyfriend plan to get married.Doctor's answer:
Couples of childbearing age living together for more than one year, with normal sexual activity, and who fail to conceive without using any form of contraception are diagnosed with infertility. Although they can conceive, various reasons may lead to miscarriage or stillbirth, resulting in the inability to have a viable infant, which is referred to as subfertility.It is recommended that both partners visit the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine if they are experiencing infertility or subfertility. Fertilization is a complex physiological process, and there are many potential causes of infertility, which may be related to the female partner, the male partner, or both. Joint consultation can improve the accuracy of diagnostic results.
