Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 29 years old. Three years ago, she was married and had not been able to conceive, despite having normal sexual activity. A friend recommended that I go to Shanghai Changjiang Hospital to see about it. I don't know how good this hospital is or what the costs are like.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The first step in infertility is to determine whether there is the ability to conceive. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that requires the following basic conditions:① The female's ovaries must release normally mature eggs each month;
② The male must be able to ejaculate during intercourse, with semen containing a normal number, shape, and vitality of sperm;
③ The female's fallopian tubes must be unobstructed, allowing sperm and eggs to meet and fertilize within the tubes;
④ The fertilized egg must be able to pass through the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity and implant in the endometrium.
Additionally, it is necessary to check whether there are any immunological antibodies present in both partners.
If any of the above links are obstructed, infertility can occur. There are over 150 possible causes or factors of infertility, which may exist in both partners or only in one partner. It is recommended that both partners choose a specialized hospital for further examination to identify the specific cause and receive targeted treatment. Wishing you good health!
