Patient's question:
I really want a child right now, but I don't know why I just can't have one—it's infertility. I wonder if my chances of conception aren't very good. I don't know if I need to have sex during ovulation to get pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Fertilization is a complex physiological process that requires several basic conditions: ① The female's ovary must release a normally mature egg 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 both partners have immune antibodies in their bodies. If any of these steps are obstructed, infertility can occur. There are over 150 possible factors or causes of infertility, which can exist in both partners or only in one partner. Therefore, it is essential to undergo early examination to identify the main causes of infertility in order to receive effective treatment.
