The medical definition of infertility is a couple of childbearing age who are sexually active, living together without contraception, and have not conceived within 1 year. Couples around 25 years of age who have a regular sexual life have a 1/4 chance of becoming pregnant each month, and within a year 90% of couples who want to have a child will conceive. Among the causes of infertility, male factor accounts for 40%, female factor accounts for 40%, unexplained infertility accounts for 10%, and both men and women have problems account for 10%. Among female infertility, tubal factors account for about 40%, ovulation factors account for about 40%, unknown causes account for about 10%, and the other 10% are uncommon factors, including uterine factors, cervical factors, immune factors, etc. What tests should be done for infertility patients? Couples who want to have children and have not conceived after 1 year without contraception should have routine hospital tests to find out if the male partner’s semen is abnormal, and if the male partner is normal, the female partner needs to be examined to find out if there are any reproductive or systemic disorders that affect pregnancy. These tests include: ultrasound, serum sex hormones, endometrial pathology, patency of fallopian tubes, thyroid function, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy if necessary, etc.
