Couples should visit a professional hospital for comprehensive examinations. Men should have tests on sperm quality and whether the vas deferens are unobstructed, while women should check their ovulation function, whether the fallopian tubes are blocked, and the uterine environment, to determine the cause. Secondly, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular作息, balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding不良 habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and staying up late. Women should also pay attention to weight control, as being overweight or underweight may affect fertility.
In addition, psychological factors can also impact fertility. It is important to learn how to relieve stress, maintain a relaxed attitude, and avoid excessive anxiety and tension. If infertility is found to be caused by diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome in women or varicocele in men, active cooperation with doctors for medication or surgical treatment is recommended. For cases of unexplained infertility or poor response to treatment, assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be considered.
After comprehensive examinations, lifestyle adjustments, and necessary treatments, most couples have the opportunity to achieve their desire to have children.
