Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for 3 years, but we still don't have any children. I don't know if it's due to her factors or medical conditions. My wife has always had irregular periods, and I wonder if it's related. I want to go to the hospital, but I'm too scared to. Is there an online Q&A for infertility? I'd like to consult.Doctor's answer:
Any factors that affect the normal hormone secretion of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonads will impact the development and function of sexual organs. Diseases of the testes themselves will affect the secretion of androgens and sperm formation, while lesions of accessory sexual organs will influence sperm maturation, semen quality, and the process of ejaculation. Sperm must gain the ability to fertilize within the female reproductive tract. Any condition, such as abnormal external genitalia or sexual dysfunction, that prevents sperm from entering the female reproductive tract can lead to infertility.
