How infertile couples can cooperate with assisted conception treatment

  The specific cause of infertility may be a problem of the female partner or the male partner, and in some cases, it may be a problem of both men and women. For couples who cannot solve their fertility problems with general medication and surgical treatment, they should not rush to the doctor, but can get a healthy child by receiving modern assisted medical technology, such as medication, surgical treatment, artificial insemination, IVF, etc., to relieve the mood of expecting a child. For infertile couples, and couples who are preparing or are implementing assisted reproductive technology, how should they cooperate with the doctor’s treatment?  It is recommended to pay attention to the following aspects: 1. At the beginning of the consultation, it is better for both couples to undergo relevant examinations.  The doctor will be able to fully understand the situation of both partners through the examination, which will facilitate the development of a suitable strategy to help the couple conceive. It is necessary for the couple to work together to conceive a child!  2. Be patient during the consultation.  The cause of infertility is complex, and it involves both the male and female partners. The female factor alone can include ovulation disorder, tubal obstruction or tubal dysfunction, endometrial abnormality, endometriosis, etc. The female factor alone can include ovulation disorder, tubal obstruction or tubal dysfunction, endometrial abnormality, endometriosis, etc. The male side mainly depends on how the quality of semen is, and there are various reasons affecting the quality of semen, such as infection, endocrine, blockage of the ducts of seminal discharge, and testicular temperature.  In addition, there are some patients whose causes of infertility cannot be identified by current examination methods called unexplained infertility (about 10%). As medical science advances, the percentage of those with unknown causes will become less and less. Therefore, doctors need a period of time to examine the causes of infertility for both spouses in order to come up with a preliminary diagnosis, and hope that patients will be patient.  Of course, some patients often say that they do not have much time, hoping that there is a special test to identify the cause as soon as possible, or there is a special medicine to take to get pregnant immediately, which is not a realistic idea. If you can’t make it to the clinic regularly because of the distance, it is recommended to choose a regular medical institution nearby for treatment.  3, good communication with the medical staff, trust the medical staff, do not hide the medical history.  Many patients, for one reason or another, deliberately conceal some circumstances, or what we doctors call medical history, for example, a woman concealed that she had given birth to a child (abandoned after birth). “Never had a child” and “had a child” are very different for doctors to focus on, and deliberately concealing medical history is ultimately detrimental to patients themselves, spending more money and making more detours.  Therefore, in front of the doctor must be frank, the doctor for medical ethics and social conditions, will try to protect the patient’s privacy, will not do anything to the detriment of the patient, please understand and reassure all patients.  4. Cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and enhance the compliance of the consultation.  For the treatment of infertility, it is recommended to go to the fertility clinic or fertility center of a regular hospital for examination, and the professional doctor can be trusted, and then it is what we say: “If you are here, you are safe”. Since you intend to be treated seriously, you should listen to your doctor’s instructions, cooperate and follow his recommendations (except for charlatans).  To give a common example, many patients come to the fertility clinic and the doctor asks, “Has your husband been tested?” The good lady often replies, “My husband is in good health, there is no need to test him, he must be fine, I will do all the tests first.” They often cite such and such evidence and refuse to allow the man to have a semen test. This kind of extremely uncooperative attitude towards the consultation is very undesirable.  There are two possibilities for analyzing this type of patient: one is that she really lacks knowledge in this area, and the other is due to the pressure of the husband’s insistence on refusing the test. But in either case, we emphasize that the organism’s fertility situation is in constant change, and this year may not be quite the same as last year or the year before, so we say that the key to cooperating with treatment is to listen to the doctor’s advice.
