When it comes to infertility, we all think about getting tested, here I will not talk about what hospital to check, but just want to discuss with you who to check first? Should the wife be checked first? Or the husband first? Do you want to check together? How much of the examination? Perhaps you think this is a very simple question, but I say “not simple”. I often encounter such patients in the clinic, or let me tell you about a patient I recently met, he is a college graduate, married for six years, he did not take contraception, but his wife is not moving, in these six years, he also want to have children, so he often asked his lover to go to the hospital, after the examination, his lover really found the cause of the disease, is the eggs do not develop, for this reason went to a lot of hospitals, also took a lot of medicine, of course, not less money. The result is that there is nothing. Why didn’t he look into it himself? At first, I thought I had a good situation, I could have sex, I could reflect the style of men, so I did not feel the need to check, and then because my wife found out the reason, I did not think about myself, so for six years I have been wife in medical treatment. Until recently because of too much time, the pressure is also increasing, so the self has come to the hospital. What is the situation after the examination? I do not want to describe anything more, with a cliché called: do not know, a check was a shock. The problem is still quite a lot, a sigh of relief: too late! It’s too late! This is not an isolated case. In general, a large proportion of infertile couples will let one of them check first, and it is often the wife who gets this “priority”, while the men generally feel good about themselves. Why? First, they often think that they can have children because of their good sexual function, and some patients even brag to me before the test to show that they have no problems. Is there really no problem? But sometimes it is also very cool that the semen found is often faulty. Whenever this happens, it is really like a basin of cold water dripping down on the head, the attitude immediately changes, sighing when not timely examination, regretting the missed time wrongly blamed on the mother. The second their wives can also more or less always find some problems, which makes them more “assured” of themselves, hey! There is no matter of their own, wife you go to the hospital more. So often the wall to watch, not to think about their own need to check. Of course, there is also the opposite situation, the wife is stronger, the man is more understanding, first to prove their own: I check well, I am not responsible. I do not agree with such a check. I always think it’s a pity to have such a checkup and think it’s still a problem of health education, because they don’t know about fertility and don’t know what to do, that’s why they deal with the problem of infertility checkups by feeling. So how to deal with the medical problem of infertility? I would like to draw the attention of the infertile people here: First of all, it is important to know that infertility is mutual, there are data that show that a high percentage of infertility in infertile couples is a common cause of both parties, that is, the man has a cause, the woman also has a cause, there is no simple as some people think, one party to find out the cause of the other party will not check. Secondly, do not let your wife check first and then check yourself, and likewise do not let the man check first and his wife check later, this will create the illusion that the other party has found the problem and has completely found the cause of infertility. It’s not that simple. The correct method should be to marry (with no contraceptive sex) after two years without having children must be examined at the same time as the couple. It is also possible to be tested after one year of marriage for infertility, but with both partners. Having emphasized the simultaneous examination of infertile couples, I would also like to emphasize the comprehensive examination. In other words, the infertile couple should ask the doctor what items can be checked? Why do you want to check this item? Do not decide what to check based on your feelings or imagination. Some patients seem to be very sophisticated, the doctor has not yet made a decision, he decided to test only semen, the doctor is not good to say you must test another content, lest others misunderstand, but in fact such a test is very incomplete. We always need to remember a basic common sense, the more comprehensive the test, the better the evaluation of fertility.
