Guizhou Guiyang Infertility Consultation: What is infertility? What are the differences 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 releases normal eggs 2. Sperm 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 implantation of the zygote. If any of these steps are abnormal, it can hinder conception. The factors or causes that hinder conception 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, you should receive targeted treatment and then try to conceive. Wish you good health.
