How do you self-test for infertility?

Come to the outpatient clinic to see the infertility of the patient there are two kinds of people should not be, a kind of grass, looking at the lady to find their own disease, one is insensitive, “teenagers” ambition does not speak of sorrow. The former is not sick suspected disease, resulting in excessive examination, excessive treatment, increased psychological burden, a waste of money. The latter is a disease to avoid disease not to see a doctor, looking for reasons to be blindly optimistic, lost the best time to have children. In fact, many people encounter infertility problems, will be in the disease and non-disease, to see or not to see, cure or not to cure in the entanglement, even with a medical background can not be avoided. The optimal age for a person to have children is just over 10 years, and if there are no extremely special circumstances, it is important to do what you should do at what age. Especially when it comes to fertility. It always makes sense to detect problems in time and seek medical attention. Therefore, infertility, from the “self-examination” to start. There is no disease early to know, infertility self-test six steps. The first step; look at the time] At present, according to the medical definition of a couple of normal sexual life, not contraceptive infertility for one year, the party diagnosed as infertility. If the couple is often in a state of separation, this time can be extended to two years. Normal sexual life is not strictly regulated, generally 2-3 times per week shall prevail. Regarding contraception, it does not include some unreliable contraceptive methods, such as safe period contraception, extracorporeal ejaculation, vaginal douching after sex, and not strict use of contraceptives, such as condoms, etc. If the use of these methods is too successful, then it is necessary to use them. If you are too successful with these methods you should be wary of infertility. As for the “we did not want to get pregnant” argument, is even more unreliable, pregnancy is a question of whether you want to? The second step is to look at the menstruation] Generally speaking, normal menstruation indicates normal endocrine function and normal ovulation. Under normal circumstances, the menstrual cycle is 25-35 days, and the period is 3-7 days. If menstruation is irregular, amenorrhea, scanty menstruation, excessive or scanty menstruation, it may affect ovulation and lead to infertility. Occasional changes in the menstrual cycle do not need to be stressed out, and excessive concern can affect the regularity of menstruation instead. Changes in menstruation may occur in the healthiest of women, especially when there are major mood swings. Attention should be paid to the presence of dysmenorrhea, which is sometimes associated with infertility. [Step 3 Look at medical history] For infertility patients, past medical history is important. Putting aside internal medicine, various chronic diseases, endocrine diseases and autoimmune diseases should be emphasized. Such as thyroid disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and so on. Infections of the pelvic and abdominal cavity and surgical history are most important. Conditions such as pelvic abscess, appendicitis, abdominal tuberculosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, intestinal obstruction, ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, cesarean section, abortion, etc., can affect the function of the fallopian tubes leading to infertility. [Step 4: Look at weight] Weight in relation to disease has nothing to do with being plump and slim. I’m talking about excessive weight. What do you mean by excessive, beyond the norm, both for excessive. Weight is one of the most important indicators of a person’s health. Being overweight and underweight are both detrimental to health. Excessive weight is often associated with endocrine diseases, which are characterized by irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and scanty menstruation. Medical science is based on body mass index. Body Mass Index (BMI) = weight (kg)/height (m) squared. Normal BMI = 18C25, overweight BMI = 25C30, mildly obese BMI >30, moderately obese BMI >35, and severely obese BMI >40. Infertility is, to a certain extent, an age-related disease. From a scientific point of view, it is an indisputable fact that the incidence of female infertility increases with age and fertility decreases. When it comes to infertility, if the young can be left to their own devices, the old need to be the first to fly. If a 25-year-old infertile patient is hesitant to accept a doctor’s recommendation for treatment, I can give her five years to think about it. If a patient is 35 years old, the doctor is not as “kind”. In the case of the elderly, early intervention means “taking it easy”. Sixth step to see the doctor] The doctor’s duty is not only to see the patient, more is to carry out medical science, health advice, and finally is to make a judgment on the disease, put forward the treatment plan and the timing of treatment intervention. If you against the above “5 steps” have doubts, have questions, then take your sixth step, go to the doctor.
