Patient's question:

Guizhou Guiyang Infertility Consultation: What is infertility? What is the difference between infertility and sterility?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Infertility refers to women, while sterility refers to men. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that requires the following conditions:
1. The ovary must release normal eggs
2. Sperm must be normal and contain healthy sperm
3. Eggs and sperm must meet and combine in the fallopian tubes to form a zygote
4. The zygote must be successfully transported into the uterine cavity
5. The endometrium must be fully prepared for the zygote to implant.
If any of these steps are abnormal, fertilization can be hindered. The reasons for infertility may be related to the woman, the man, or both. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for examination. Based on the results, you should undergo targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor and then try to conceive. Wishing you good health.
