Patient's question:
Married to my wife for three years, we finally got married because we've been unable to have children. The main reason for our infertility is male infertility, and I've undergone many treatments, but they haven't been effective at all. I really feel like I've lost hope in life. Could you please tell me when is the most appropriate time to treat male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a couple has not used contraception for more than a year and remains infertile, they should undergo a thorough examination. The male should abstain for 3-5 days and have a routine semen analysis performed. The female should have her endocrine system checked using electrochemical luminescence on days 3-5 of her menstrual period; a vaginal mirror examination, dynamic digital hysterosalpingography, and 4D color vaginal ultrasound should be conducted on days 3-5 after her period ends. Usually, this can lead to a diagnosis. If the cause remains undetermined, further careful examination with an electronic hysteroscope or laparoscope may be necessary.Infertility can be cured, but the treatment process is generally lengthy, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
