Hello, conception is a complex process, and any issue in any stage can prevent normal conception. Infertility may be caused by factors or conditions related to the male, the female, or both.Factors or conditions contributing to female infertility include: tubal infertility (such as blocked or (water accumulation) fallopian tubes), ovarian infertility (e.g., anovulation), endocrine disorders (abnormal hormone levels leading to anovulation), uterine infertility (e.g., endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine malformation), immunological infertility (immunity to male sperm), and infectious factors.
Factors or conditions contributing to male infertility include: abnormal semen (e.g., azoospermia or oligospermia), testicular abnormalities (e.g., cryptorchidism), obstructed sperm transport (e.g., vas deferens blockage), abnormal ejaculation, endocrine factors, immunological factors, varicocele, and infectious factors.
It is recommended that your sister-in-law first try conception during her ovulation period. If pregnancy still cannot be achieved, she must seek detailed examination at a specialized hospital to identify the underlying cause, receive targeted treatment, and not miss the best opportunity for treatment.
