Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for half a year. Although it has only been half a year, we were already prepared to have children when we got married. However, we haven't been pregnant yet, so we are very worried. We plan to go to the hospital for a check-up, fearing that infertility is caused by physical factors or medical conditions. Because I occasionally have some discomfort in my lower abdomen.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a couple is infertile despite not using contraception, they should undergo testing. The male should abstain from sex for 3-5 days and have a routine semen analysis. The female should have her endocrine levels checked using electrochemical luminescence during the 3-5 days of her menstrual period; a vaginal mirror examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and 4D color vaginal ultrasound should be performed 3-5 days after her period ends. This generally leads to a diagnosis. If the cause or etiology still cannot be identified, further examination with an electronic hysteroscope or laparoscope is needed.
