Infertility is divided into infertility and infertility, which refers to the diagnosis of adult men and women who live together and have had normal sexual activity for more than a year without using any contraceptive measures and have not become pregnant several times.
The prerequisite for conception is that the ovaries must expel normal eggs, the semen contains normally active sperm, the eggs and sperm can meet and combine in the fallopian tubes to form a pregnant egg and be transported into the uterine cavity, and the endometrium is suitable for the implantation of the pregnant egg. Any abnormal condition can hinder conception and lead to infertility.
There are many reasons that can cause infertility. In summary, there are 21 stages for both men and women, and each stage has more than 10 pathogenic factors. If all the pathogenic factors cannot be identified, it can lead to treatment failure. Especially for patients who have not recovered for a long time or whose etiology is unknown, through these 21 levels of screening methods, problems and past treatment deficiencies can be quickly identified, and effective pregnancy promotion methods can be developed.
The 21 step infertility screening method is currently the most scientific method in medical science for detecting the causes of male infertility. It checks every stage from sperm generation to successful delivery, and can also accurately detect the quantity and quality of sperm.
The 10 step examination for male infertility includes examination of the testes, seminal vesicles, vas deferens, semen, urethra, epididymis, prostate, ejaculatory dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, sex hormones, and immune factors. The content of the 11 step examination for female infertility includes ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, cervical opening, vagina, ovulation disorders, pelvic cavity, immune factors, endocrine, sex hormones, systemic factors, etc.
10 step investigation of male infertility
Testis: It is a factory that produces sperm. If the testicle is underdeveloped and other acquired diseases occur, it can lead to infertility.
Sperm and vas deferens: Sperm and vas deferens are important organs for transporting and storing sperm. Inflammation, adhesions, blockages, and other conditions can lead to infertility.
Semen: Oligospermia, azoospermia, azoospermia, low sperm survival rate, poor motility, sperm deformity, and poor semen liquefaction are the main causes of male infertility.
Urethra: Urethritis or bacterial and viral infections can directly or indirectly affect the quality of sperm, leading to infertility.
Epididymis: It is the place connecting the vas deferens and testes and storing mature sperm. The erosion of pathogens and microorganisms, inflammatory reaction or other diseases can lead to infertility.
Prostate: prostatic fluid accounts for 30% of semen, which is an important part to provide nutrients for sperm. Inflammation and infection can lead to low sperm survival rate, poor motility, oligospermia, dead sperm, and poor liquefaction, leading to infertility.
Ejaculation dysfunction: common ejaculation dysfunction such as non ejaculation and retrograde ejaculation, semen cannot be ejected from the urethral orifice, resulting in infertility.
Sexual dysfunction: Male sexual dysfunction such as fistula and premature ejaculation prevents sperm from ejaculating into the deep vagina of women, resulting in inability to conceive.
Sexual hormones: Disordered levels of sex hormones, reduced levels of male hormones, and other factors can lead to dysfunction of spermatogenesis, resulting in abnormal sperm production and inability to conceive.
Immune factors: Antigenic substances in semen have adverse reactions with the human immune system, such as the appearance of anti sperm antibodies, leading to infertility.
11 step investigation of female infertility
Ovary: It is the place where eggs are produced. Poor ovarian development, inflammation, and swelling can all affect egg production and development, leading to infertility.
Uterus: It is the cradle for pregnant women to conceive their babies. The zygote will be implanted here and develop into a fetus. Many women suffer from infertility due to issues such as uterine inflammation, adhesions, endometriosis, and uterine dysplasia.
Fallopian tube: It is the only channel for transporting eggs and also the place where sperm and eggs combine. Due to inflammation, adhesion, obstruction, and other factors of the fallopian tube, infertility is one of the main causes of female infertility.
Cervical opening: It is the first entrance for sperm to enter the uterus. If a tumor, inflammation, erosion, or other infection occurs, causing cervical blockage, deformation, etc., it can lead to pregnancy failure.
Vagina: Inflammation and infection of the vagina and urethra, where the inflammatory cells and pathogens directly or indirectly affect the quality of sperm, leading to infertility.
Ovulation disorders: Various problems such as dysfunction of the hypothalamic and ovarian axes, adhesion of the fimbriae, etc. in women can cause ovulation abnormalities and can also lead to infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
Pelvic cavity: Various chronic diseases such as inflammation and infection in the pelvic cavity can cause reproductive organ lesions, dysfunction, and affect conception.
Sex hormones: Abnormal levels of sex hormones can cause endometrial dysplasia, ovulation disorders, and infertility due to non implantation of eggs.
Endocrine: Abnormal functions of the thyroid and adrenal glands, endocrine disorders, causing menstrual irregularities, ovulation disorders, amenorrhea, and other infertility in women.
Immune factors: Some couples, through examination, have found that their reproductive organs are normal, but they are not pregnant. Through investigation, it is found that they have developed adverse immune reactions such as anti sperm antibodies, anti egg antibodies, and anti zona pellucida antibodies, which can kill sperm or inhibit sperm and egg binding, resulting in infertility.
Systemic factors: Some women experience fertility abnormalities due to various reasons such as physical weakness, malnutrition, sequelae of miscarriage, and habitual miscarriage.
It is recommended that expectant couples go to a professional and authoritative specialized hospital for examination. These hospitals have good medical conditions, advantages in equipment, resources, and other aspects. They can use cutting-edge examination equipment to more accurately locate the lesion, and the diagnostic results are more accurate; Once the cause is confirmed, a more accurate treatment plan can also be proposed, making sufficient preparations for the next step of treatment.
