Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for four years. During this time, we didn't take any contraceptive measures, but her stomach has never been pregnant. She has also tried many traditional Chinese herbal medicines, but none of them worked. Now, I'm starting to wonder if it's my fault.Doctor's answer:
Infertile couples who live together for more than one year, have normal sexual life, and have never taken any contraceptive measures but fail to conceive are diagnosed with infertility. Infertility is divided into two types: primary infertility and secondary infertility. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that requires the following conditions: 1. Normal ovulation by the ovaries 2. Normal semen containing healthy sperm 3. The meeting and combination of egg and sperm in the fallopian tubes to form a zygote 4. The smooth transport of the zygote into the uterine cavity 5. The endometrium is fully prepared for the implantation of the zygote. If any of these steps are abnormal, it can hinder conception. The reasons for hindering conception may be related to the female, the male, or both. It is recommended to visit a specialized hospital for further examination to clarify the condition and receive targeted treatment.
