The number of infertile patients is increasing year by year. At present, the incidence rate of infertility among couples of childbearing age in China has reached 15%, which is a surprising figure. Being unable to have children causes great distress to people, causing cracks in some originally happy families.
Even worse, patients have many problems with their medical concepts and have even fallen into misconceptions, which have brought many difficulties to treatment and also caused many economic, mental, and time losses to infertile patients. Therefore, the misconceptions regarding the treatment of infertile patients are briefly discussed as follows:
Blindly seeking medical attention and frequently changing hospitals
Some patients seek medical treatment everywhere in the north today and tomorrow in the south, lacking relatively fixed doctors for systematic treatment, resulting in poor therapeutic effects due to spending a lot of money. Human reproduction is an inefficient process, and the process of treating infertility is relatively "lengthy". The key point is the same as natural reproduction, which relies on accumulating the number of times to win! It is not only necessary to persevere, but also best to choose regular hospitals and regular doctors for treatment. Frequent changes to hospitals and doctors, each time starting from scratch, result in a regrettable waste and also delay valuable time for women to conceive.
● Credible advertising promotion
At present, the treatment market for infertility is relatively chaotic, and many informal clinics or hospitals do not have any "experts" or "secret formulas" for treating infertility. Patients who are too eager to cure infertility as soon as possible may lose their sanity. Sometimes, relying solely on promotional papers or advertisements on the streets, they go to irregular hospitals advertised for treatment, which can delay the timing of treatment and even worsen the condition. In terms of the current regulations and current situation of the medical market in our country, everyone can simply remember the sentence "Any hospital that advertises must be a scammer
The woman's problem does not require the man to check
Many infertility patients who seek medical attention are female, and the male partner has not yet sought medical attention. It is common to hear female patients say, "I will check first, and then let my husband check if there is no problem." In fact, the cause of infertility may be in the female partner, male partner, or both genders. According to statistics, in infertility patients, male factors account for 35%, female factors account for 45%, and both male and female factors account for 20%. The basic principle of infertility is that both men and women are tested and treated together! And because the man's examination is simple and non-invasive, he should be checked first.
Infertility can be treated through menstrual regulation
Some diseases that cause infertility can manifest as menstrual disorders. In clinical practice, some doctors and patients lack awareness of the diseases that cause menstrual disorders and only use medication for menstrual regulation treatment. Many patients also believe that as long as their menstrual cycle is regular, they can get pregnant, so the purpose of seeking medical attention is to use medication to regulate their menstrual cycle. In fact, the menstrual cycle and ovarian cycle are two different things. Normal menstruation does not necessarily result in ovulation, so simply regulating menstruation cannot treat infertility.
Does not ovulate if the fallopian tubes are blocked
The oviduct is the place where eggs and sperm combine and the pipeline for transporting zygote. It periodically transports the eggs discharged from the ovary to the uterine cavity once a month. Ovulation refers to the development of mature follicles at a certain stage, which clearly protrude from the surface of the ovary. With the surge of follicular fluid and the increase of internal pressure, the protruding ovarian tissue becomes thinner and thinner, and finally ruptures, expelling the ovary. The patency of the fallopian tubes is not directly related to ovulation.
● For assisted reproductive therapy, it is best to choose gender and twins
Many parents come to our reproductive center with great enthusiasm and say, 'Doctor, we want to have twins at once, and they will be twins...'. IVF is a treatment for infertility! Individuals with normal fertility cannot undergo in vitro fertilization treatment! As for gender selection, although there are currently technologies such as sperm screening and pre implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), they are only targeted at some patients with genetic diseases and the cost is much higher than ordinary in vitro fertilization. And national laws prohibit non medical gender screening!
The ultimate goal of implementing assisted pregnancy technology is to obtain healthy children, and single pregnancy is the safest. Even if doctors transplant two embryos, it is possible to form quadruplets. Therefore, for pregnancies with three or more pregnancies, selective reduction surgery must be mandatory by the state.
The above are common misconceptions about seeking medical treatment for infertility. We hope to serve as a reminder and help everyone with the correct treatment for infertility, striving for an early cure, and realizing the great dream of giving birth to life. Here is a reminder for infertile couples to seek professional treatment at a reputable hospital and stay away from misunderstandings.
