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 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.

How is infertility treated?

For the treatment of infertility, it is necessary to address the specific causes of infertility. For instance, infertility caused by partial fallopian tube blockage can be treated conservatively, such as using traditional Chinese medicine enemas and external applications. In cases of severe fallopian tube blockage or blockage at the isthmic part, surgery or in vitro fertilization may be required. Additionally, some women may suffer from undeveloped follicles or anovulation, which necessitates the use of Chinese or Western medicine to stimulate follicle development and ovulation. Good follicle development and ovulation are essential for conception. Furthermore, infertility can also be due to male factors, such as sperm issues, which would require the male partner to undergo treatment at a urology clinic to improve sperm quality before conception can occur.

What should I do if I have irregular menstruation and infertility?

If menstrual irregularities lead to infertility, the first step is to go to the hospital for an endocrine test. Menstrual irregularities generally indicate a dysfunction in ovarian function. At this time, you can go to the hospital for a blood test, which should be done on the second to fifth day of the menstrual period. It is important to fast before the blood test. After the blood test, treatment should be based on the results. Generally, patients with menstrual irregularities experience ovulation disorders or ovarian secretion dysfunction, causing abnormal hormone levels in the body, which are not conducive to egg implantation and development. Therefore, if menstrual irregularities lead to infertility, it is essential to undergo relevant medical examinations at the hospital and then treat based on the findings. Moreover, if you have been trying to conceive for over a year without success, be sure to undergo other infertility tests.

What are the precautions for infertility?

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.

Infertility means.

The concept of infertility in medicine is defined as follows: both male and female partners have normal sexual relations without using any contraceptives, and if the female cannot become pregnant after a year, this condition is diagnosed as infertility. Previously, the time frame for diagnosing infertility was set at two years. However, due to the implementation of the two-child policy, the average age of both men and women tends to be higher, so it is generally limited to one year. If there is no pregnancy within this period, it is urgent to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in order to identify the cause early and treat it accordingly, to avoid delaying the condition.
