Patient's question:
Now I'm also not sure if I have the condition of infertility, I want to know some precautions about infertility.Doctor's answer:
Hello! For your situation, you should pay attention to the following aspects:Precautions Before Infertility Treatment
1. Do Not Worry About Menarche
Generally, women experience menarche around the age of 14. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, indicating that the reproductive system has gradually matured. It is nothing to be overly concerned about. However, some girls lacking knowledge about physiology may feel shy and develop psychological burdens. During menstruation, they may worry excessively, even to the point of being unable to eat or sleep. Over time, this can lead to what traditional Chinese medicine refers to as "qi stagnation." Qi stagnation can cause blood stasis, and blood stasis can damage the uterine ligaments. If the uterine ligaments are damaged, infertility may occur after marriage. Therefore, girls should pay attention to understanding this physiological knowledge and proper handling methods during menarche. This will help alleviate their concerns, making it easier to conceive after marriage.
2. Pay Attention to Menstrual Hygiene
During menstruation, if hygiene is not maintained properly, it is easy to contract various gynecological diseases, such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammation. These conditions can hinder conception after marriage. So, how should one maintain hygiene during menstruation? In general, maintain a positive and cheerful mental state; ensure adequate rest and avoid overexertion; eat warm and hot foods, avoiding cold and cool foods; maintain regular and comfortable living habits, avoiding sitting or lying in wet places or wading in rain. Additionally, menstrual pads should be washed frequently, underwear and sanitary napkins should be changed often, and full-body showers should not be too frequent to avoid catching colds.
3. Treat Menstrual Irregularities Early
Menstrual irregularities refer to changes in the menstrual period, color, or volume, or the occurrence of amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or metrorrhagia. Most infertile women experience these symptoms to varying degrees. Therefore, menstrual irregularities can be seen as a signal of difficulty conceiving. The causes of menstrual irregularities in teenage girls are relatively simple, making treatment easier. Thus, if a teenage girl experiences menstrual irregularities, she should seek treatment early to ensure a full recovery and avoid future complications. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is generally effective.
4. Delay Marriage if Menstruation Is Delayed
Some teenage girls have a delayed menarche, with their first menstrual period occurring only after the age of 18–20. Their menstrual flow is light, the color is pale, and the quality is thin. This indicates that the reproductive system is underfunctioning. After marriage, not only will they be unable to conceive, but their menstrual condition may worsen, leading to amenorrhea or other complications. Therefore, teenage girls with delayed menstruation and slower development should exercise regularly and supplement with medication as needed.
