Patient's question:
I have been living with my partner for 9 years without having children. The hospital check-ups all said it was just a minor issue. Since it's just a minor issue, why haven't we been able to get pregnant for so many years?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Infertility is defined as the inability of a sexually active, fertile couple to conceive after one year of trying without using any form of contraception. Conception is a complex physiological process that requires the following conditions to be met: 1. Normal ovulation by the ovaries 2. Normal semen containing healthy sperm 3. The meeting and fusion of the egg and sperm in the fallopian tubes to form a zygote 4. The zygote being successfully transported into the uterine cavity 5. The endometrium being fully prepared to receive the zygote. Any abnormality in these steps can hinder conception. The factors or causes that obstruct conception may be related to the female partner, the male partner, or both. Our hospital is a modern specialized clinic established in full compliance with the World Health Organization's standards for the diagnosis and treatment of human infertility. We recommend that you and your partner come to our hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination to identify the factors or causes of infertility, so that targeted treatment can be provided. Do not miss the best age for pregnancy. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us! Wishing you good health!
