Infertility is a common fertility problem in daily life. From a medical perspective, if a healthy couple has normal sexual activity without taking any contraceptive measures within a year and fails to conceive, it is necessary to investigate the cause of infertility. Male infertility and female infertility can be caused by infertility, and different methods need to be used to diagnose infertility in both men and women. So, how can infertility be diagnosed?
How to diagnose infertility
1. Routine analysis of male semen: Semen routine analysis is simple, convenient, and inexpensive, making it a first-line screening method. If the indicators are normal, it is more reasonable to conduct a female examination.
2. Gynecological pelvic examination: For first-time infertile female patients, a careful gynecological examination should be performed during the non menstrual period to understand the size, position, texture, and mobility of the uterus, whether there are tenderness and nodules at the root of the uterosacral ligament, and whether there are abnormal thickening and tenderness in the bilateral adnexa
3. The commonly used methods for monitoring ovulation include basal body temperature (BBT), transvaginal ultrasound monitoring ovulation, and serum hormone testing.
4. Tubal patency test: Hysterosalpingography is a commonly used method for checking tubal patency. Understanding whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed and the shape of the uterine cavity can achieve an accuracy rate of up to 80%.
How to prevent infertility
1. Avoiding Chlamydia infection: If an infection is detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent the spread of the infection, which can affect the fallopian tubes and other pelvic organs, leading to infertility.
2. Avoiding unclean sexual activity: People who frequently change sexual partners or have multiple sexual partners, have a history of sexually transmitted infections or engage in unprotected sex, as well as high-risk groups such as sex workers and drug users, must strengthen screening.
3. Avoid high mental tension: When a person is in a relaxed and happy mood, various indicators such as pulse, blood pressure, metabolism, etc. are in a stable and coordinated state. The body secretes more immune active substances and has strong resistance.
4. Avoid excessive sexual activity: If sexual activity is too frequent, it can cause the female body to produce corresponding anti sperm antibodies, thereby reducing the chance of sperm and egg binding.
5. Avoid abortion: Abortion may cause bacterial infections, affecting other reproductive organs and leading to salpingitis, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Chinese tradition has believed since ancient times that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and having no offspring is the greatest. Young couples must quit unhealthy habits while ensuring their own health, especially during the preparation period. They must pay attention to the rationalization of daily life and balanced diet and nutrition, effectively prevent infertility. If infertility occurs, they should also go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner, and have a healthy baby as soon as possible.
