Patients with infertility can understand the following situations through blood tests:

The first situation is blood drawing, testing the blood type of both male and female partners, including ABO blood type and RH blood type. By testing the blood type through blood drawing, it is possible to understand whether there is a possibility of hemolysis.

Secondly, blood tests in infertility patients can also check the sex hormones of both partners to see if there are any abnormalities in the endocrine system.

Thirdly, blood tests can check whether both partners have infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, syphilis, and AIDS.

Fourthly, through blood tests, the chromosomes of both partners can be checked to find out if there are any chromosomal diseases present.

Can cervical adhesions cause infertility?

Cervical adhesion primarily depends on its severity. If it is a mild cervical adhesion and it does not hinder the discharge of menstrual blood, affect normal cervical secretions, or interfere with the entry of semen during regular sexual activity, then it is unlikely to affect pregnancy. However, severe cervical adhesions can prevent the discharge of menstrual blood and cause periodic abdominal pain, which can affect pregnancy. Therefore, severe cervical adhesions require surgical intervention, generally involving the insertion of an expansion device.

Can you have sexual intercourse before infertility examination?

There are many types of examinations for infertility. If the examination is for male infertility, such as a semen analysis, it is recommended not to have sexual intercourse three days prior to the test. For females, if the examinations involve blood tests or a gynecological ultrasound, intercourse is permissible. However, if the examination includes a routine vaginal discharge test, it is advised not to have sexual intercourse for at least three days beforehand. More stringent timing is required for examinations like hysteroscopy or a fallopian tube radiography. The principle here is to conduct these tests three to seven days after menstruation has ended, in order to complete the fallopian tube radiography and hysteroscopy effectively.

How to diagnose infertility

When a couple lives together, has regular sexual intercourse without contraception for over a year, and does not conceive, it is termed infertility. If it concerns the female, it is called infertility, and if it concerns the male, it is called sterility. If a woman has previously been pregnant or has a history of childbirth or pregnancy, it is known as secondary infertility. If she has never been pregnant or had a childbirth, it is considered primary infertility. The same categories apply to males: those with a history of fathering a child, regardless of with which partner, are described as having secondary sterility, whereas those who have never impregnated a woman suffer from primary sterility. To diagnose infertility or sterility, one needs to undergo relevant medical checks at a hospital's reproductive medicine department. These examinations include ovulation monitoring, endocrine tests, gynecological examinations for women, and semen analyses and fallopian tube inspections for men, among others.

Can immunological infertility be treated?

Immunological infertility is treatable. There are several main methods for treating immunological infertility. The first method is the blocking therapy, which involves using condoms for 3-6 months to make the sperm antigen antibodies disappear, thereby increasing the conception rate through alternate day intercourse. Many women are able to conceive through this method. The second method is in vitro fertilization, which is chosen if there is a high density of antisperm antibodies in the woman's body, making in vitro fertilization necessary for conception. This method generally has a high success rate. The third method is intrauterine artificial insemination. When there are many antisperm antibodies in the woman’s cervical mucus, this method involves treating the male’s semen outside the body, selecting high-quality sperm for artificial insemination. The fourth method is immunosuppressive therapy, which primarily involves the use of corticosteroids. However, the use of these hormones often causes some adverse damage to the body.
