Some misunderstandings about infertility

　　In recent years, with the increasing incidence of infertility, the attention to infertility is also increasing. At the same time, there are some misunderstandings about infertility, mainly in the following aspects.

　　1. Believe in advertisements and go to some irregular hospitals for irregular treatment.

　　With the increase in infertility, there are now more and more infertility advertisements on the Internet, TV, magazines, radio. Some advertisements advertise "experts treat infertility 100% pregnancy", "pay after pregnancy", "half the examination fee during holidays, large-scale free clinics", "strive to solve infertility in 100 days", many patients listen to some false advertisements I went to the consultation for irregular treatment, which affected and aggravated my condition. In this reminder, infertile patients must go to the reproductive medicine center of the regular hospital for scientific examination and standardized treatment.

　　2. Only the woman is checked and treated, while the man is not checked and not treated.

　　Some men are reluctant to conduct their own examinations when they accompany their wives to the doctor's office. They think "I'm usually fine, I'm fine, and I don't need to be checked." Pregnancy is a matter of two people, not of one person. The factors of the man are as important as those of the woman. Some men who are unwilling to be examined will have problems such as "azoospermia", "oligo-asthenozoospermia" and "dead sperm" after being examined under persuasion. Therefore, when infertile patients go to a doctor, both men and women should check at the same time in order to clarify the cause and treat the symptoms.

　　3, heavy treatment, light examination.

　　Some infertile patients are reluctant to carry out examinations when they go to the doctor, and often say "I'm fine, I'm fine, just give me some fertility medicine to eat and eat". Infertility should go through a comprehensive examination, clear etiology, and targeted treatment.

　　4. It is believed that repeated hysterosalpingolysis can treat tubal obstruction.

　　Hysterosalpingolysis is only a method to check whether the fallopian tubes are open, and cannot play a role in treating the fallopian tubes. Repeated and blind hysterosalpingo-fluidization will increase the risk of ascending infection of the fallopian tubes and aggravate the condition.

　　5. Go to the doctor in a panic.

　　Many infertile patients are eager to have children, and they are easy to listen to some advertisements, and the phenomenon of "going to the doctor in a hurry" appears. Infertility is not a single disease, and there are many influencing factors. Be sure to go to a regular reproductive medicine center for examination and treatment. At the same time, the treatment of infertility varies from person to person. Some patients may be able to become pregnant soon after examination and treatment, while some patients have more severe conditions and the treatment cycle will be longer. Many patients are impatient and give up halfway when the treatment has just improved, and go to other hospitals for examination and treatment. Therefore, during the treatment, it is necessary to communicate well with the attending doctor, fully trust the attending doctor, strengthen confidence, and see the doctor clearly. Don't be impetuous to seek medical treatment everywhere, waste money and energy, and delay the treatment.

　　6. It is believed that regular menstruation can lead to normal ovulation and normal pregnancy.

　　Regular menstruation may not necessarily lead to normal ovulation, and whether normal ovulation can be known only through vaginal B-ultrasound monitoring of follicles.

　　7. Azoospermia is definitely infertile.

　　Azoospermia is divided into obstructive azoospermia and non-obstructive azoospermia. Among them, obstructive azoospermia can be fertile with the help of assisted reproductive technology through epididymal or testicular puncture.

　　8. Believe in the remedies and check the prescriptions.

　　Many patients blindly believe in folk remedies instead of scientific examinations, which delays their illness.

　　9. Repeated artificial insemination.

　　It often occurs that some patients blindly and repeatedly perform artificial insemination in some informal hospitals or private clinics. But artificial insemination has clear indications, and the success rate is low. When the condition of the woman's fallopian tubes and ovaries is not very good, repeated artificial insemination will increase the patient's economic burden and psychological pressure.

　　10. Consecutive multiple ovulation induction treatments.

　　Some patients have unsuccessful ovulation induction several times and insist on continuous ovulation induction, which is likely to cause premature ovarian failure.

　　11. Resistance to assisted reproductive technology is not as healthy as natural pregnancy.

　　For some patients with more serious conditions, such as "tubal obstruction", "severe oligozoospermia", "obstructive azoospermia", etc., doctors will recommend "in vitro fertilization" (IVF-ET or ICSI-ET) assisted pregnancy. Many patients will resist these assisted reproductive technologies, thinking that the future is not as healthy as the child who conceives naturally, and some patients even think that it is not their own child. These understandings are incorrect. Children who undergo IVF-ET and ICSI-ET are their own children, and they are the same after birth as naturally conceived children.

　　12. You will be able to get pregnant by doing IVF.

　　The success rate of IVF is not 100%, and its overall success rate is only 30%-40%. Although IVF technology is constantly improving, there are still some unknown reasons that affect pregnancy, so be fully mentally prepared and don't worry about gains and losses when you fail.

　　13. You can choose your gender when doing IVF.

　　Just like normal pregnancy, there is no choice of gender in test-tube baby. It is a natural and random phenomenon to give birth to a boy or a girl.

　　14. Excessive rest after transplantation.

　　Some patients are afraid to walk around or go out for a long time after embryo transfer, especially some patients are more cautious after confirming that they are pregnant. In fact, patients undergoing IVF can walk around half an hour after embryo transfer. Under the premise of avoiding strenuous activities and overwork, they can carry out their daily life and work, but pay attention to protecting the fetus. Go for a walk often and get some fresh air. Excessive bed rest is not necessary.

　　15. Excessive mental stress after transplantation.

　　Under the influence of family pressure, self pressure, and financial pressure, many patients are highly concentrated after embryo transfer. What's more, the urine test is started 3-5 days after the transplant to see if you are pregnant. Excessive mental stress also has an impact on embryo implantation, so patients should not focus all their energy on this matter after transplantation. To relax, let the flow wait until the urine test day. Some patients have negative urine test 14 days after transplantation, which may be due to the test strip or the late implantation of the embryo. Don't be nervous, you can check the blood on an empty stomach to see if you are pregnant.
