Patient's question:
I have frequent sexual activity with my wife, but we haven't been able to conceive for several months. Is it true that the more often we have sex, the easier it will be to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
No. Generally, having sexual intercourse 2-3 times a week increases the likelihood of conception. Excessive frequency of sexual activity can lead to a decrease in the number of sperm in each ejaculation and a higher proportion of immature and underdeveloped sperm. Additionally, frequent sexual stimulation can keep accessory gland organs in a state of prolonged congestion, causing glandular secretion disorders and affecting semen composition, pH, and other factors, thereby having a negative impact on fertility. In severe cases, it can lead to infertility.
