Patient's question:
I've been married for three years, but I haven't been able to get pregnant yet. Now I want to do some tests, and I'm a bit worried. What kind of tests should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a couple of childbearing age has been living together for more than a year, having normal sexual life, and never using any form of contraception. Infertility is divided into two types: primary infertility and secondary infertility. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that requires the following conditions: 1. Normal ovulation by the ovaries 2. Normal semen containing normal sperm 3. The meeting and combination of eggs and sperm in the fallopian tubes to form a zygote 4. The smooth transport of the zygote into the uterine cavity 5. The endometrium is fully prepared to support the implantation of the zygote. If any of these steps are abnormal, it can hinder conception. The factors or causes that obstruct conception may be related to the female, the male, or both. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination in a specialized hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
