Infertility after 5 years of marriage

Many newlyweds will have children after enjoying their two-person world, but some couples will choose to let nature take its course. Some couples have not taken any contraceptive measures for five years after marriage, but have not become pregnant. This shows that one of the couple must be infertile, so both men and women need to undergo the examination. So what is the reason for infertility after five years of marriage?

Infertility refers to the inability to become pregnant after having normal sexual life after marriage, without using contraception, and living together for 2 years. Conception is a complex physiological process. Factors that hinder conception include ovulation disorders, semen abnormalities, immune factors, lack of knowledge about sexual life, mental stress, reproductive system diseases, etc. Clinically, it is divided into primary and secondary infertility. Failure to use contraceptives after marriage and never getting pregnant is called primary infertility; having been pregnant but not using contraceptives and being infertile for more than two consecutive years is called secondary infertility. Strengthening physical fitness and improving health are beneficial to infertile patients in restoring their fertility. If there are systemic chronic diseases, they should be treated actively. Mastering sexual knowledge and learning to predict ovulation can increase the chance of conception by having sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation or within 24 hours after ovulation. If there is an organic disease, it should be treated actively. If there is cervical stenosis, simply dilating the cervix can have a therapeutic effect. This disease is equivalent to the categories of "infertility", "childlessness" and "complete infertility" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is closely related to the kidney, and is related to dysfunction of Tiangui, Chongren, and uterus, or disharmony of qi and blood in the internal organs, which affects the function of the cell blood vessels.
