Patient's question:
Since getting married in 2010, she has been unable to conceive for 5 years. In 2012, uterine polyps were detected and treated via hysteroscopic electroresection. However, she still remained infertile, so the male partner was advised to undergo medical examinations, which revealed oligospermia and asthenozoospermia with low sperm motility—only 4% within 4 hours and a best motility rate of 8%. The male partner took traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at the provincial TCM hospital for a year, following ovulation induction guidance and timed intercourse without success. In 2013, the female partner underwent fallopian tube, which showed that the tubes were patent. In 2014, the male partner took TCM at a private TCM clinic (recommended by a friend) for another year, while the female partner also took TCM for ovulation induction, but still without success. The female partner is now 33 years old and hopes to conceive this year through assisted reproductive technology.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it can be considered to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF).The process of IVF is as follows: You and your spouse will come to our clinic with your previous medical records. After our comprehensive examination and diagnosis, an archive will be established. You will need to prepare your marriage certificate, ID card, and fertility certificate. A medication plan will be formulated, followed by egg retrieval and embryo transfer. The first visit can be scheduled 2-3 days after the onset of menstruation, on an empty stomach, or more than one week after menstruation has ended.
