Patient's question:

Guizhou Guiyang Infertility Consultation: What is infertility? What are the differences between infertility and barrenness?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Infertility refers to women, while sterility refers to men. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that must meet the following conditions: 1. Ovaries release normal eggs 2. Sperm fluid is normal and contains normal sperm 3. Eggs and sperm can meet and combine in the fallopian tubes to form a zygote 4. The zygote is successfully transported into the uterine cavity 5. The endometrium is fully prepared for the zygote to implant. If any of these steps are abnormal, it can hinder fertilization. The factors or causes that hinder fertilization may be related to the woman, the man, or both. It is recommended that you go to a specialized hospital for examination. Based on the examination results, under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic treatment should be given before trying to conceive. Wish you good health.
