Patient's question:
What are the causes of infertility? I have been married for many years and have a sexual life, but I have never had children. I don't know what the reason is. My husband and I are both very healthy, and we have been married for more than two years.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 one year, has normal sexual life, and has never taken any contraceptive measures. 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 receive the zygote. If any of these steps are abnormal, it can hinder conception. The reasons for hindering conception may be related to the female, the male, or both. It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment.
