For women with infertility, it is first necessary to determine the survival rate of the man's sperm by conducting a sperm test. Additionally, women need to undergo routine examinations and follicle checks. If there are no issues found, a fallopian tube examination should be done for the woman.

In daily life, it is important to ensure adequate sleep and to pay attention to rest and avoid alcohol and tobacco. Furthermore, it is crucial to eliminate tension, adjust one’s mindset, and adopt a positive attitude. Bad habits such as staying up late and pulling all-nighters need to be changed.

Can infertility be cured?

Infertility cannot be universally treated; it requires a specific analysis of each case. For instance, infertility caused by congenital factors, like congenital absence of testicles or uterus, is often difficult to treat. However, infertility resulting from acquired causes, such as sexual dysfunction, abnormal male semen, uterine fibroids, or ovarian cysts in females, can often be treated with medication, surgery, or assisted reproductive technologies like in-vitro fertilization, and in many cases can be cured.

Why does endometriosis cause infertility?

Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility. The reasons endometriosis leads to infertility mainly include the following aspects: First, if endometriosis occurs above the ovaries, this condition is referred to as ovarian chocolate cysts. This disease can cause ovarian ovulation disorders. Second, endometriosis easily leads to pelvic adhesions, which can affect the function of the fallopian tubes, making it difficult for the fimbrial end of the tubes to capture eggs. Endometriosis is very common among women with infertility; therefore, a thorough examination is essential when screening for causes of infertility. If endometriosis is present, surgical or medical treatment should be chosen to improve the symptoms of endometriosis as much as possible and alleviate the causes of infertility.

How is female infertility investigated?

There are many tests to be done for female infertility. For example, during menstruation, a fasting blood test can be done to check for six sex hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Between days 3-7 after menstruation ends, a fallopian tube hydrotubation and imaging can be performed, but intercourse must be avoided and there should be no gynecological inflammation to proceed with this examination. Additionally, routine vaginal secretion and mycoplasma infection tests can be conducted to check for any related issues. Moreover, around the tenth day of the menstrual cycle, a follicle monitoring ultrasound can be done to observe if there are dominant follicles and whether ovulation occurs. The male partner should also undergo some related tests. In summary, different tests can be conducted at different times for female infertility.

How does infertility arise?

Infertility can be understood as the causes of infertility. We believe that the factors hindering conception are related to both the female and male partners, with the female factors accounting for 60%, male factors accounting for 30%, and factors involving both partners accounting for 10%. There are many causes of female infertility, primarily disorders related to ovulation and fallopian tube factors. Ovulation disorders include dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, ovarian diseases, endocrine metabolic diseases, and systemic diseases. Fallopian tube factors mainly include chronic fallopian tube inflammation, fallopian tube malformations, and pelvic adhesions. Then there are uterine factors, which include poor uterine development, uterine malformations, uterine adhesions, and endometrial tuberculosis. The fourth factor is related to the cervix. The fifth involves the vagina and perineum. Male infertility is mainly due to abnormalities in the semen, sexual function, and immune factors.
