Experts have reviewed the four major misconceptions in identifying the causes of infertility between men and women, and pointed out that if infertility is found, both spouses should go to the hospital for examination together.

A large sample study in Denmark shows that among couples who have been married for many years and cannot conceive children, the proportion of male and female factors remains equal. However, clinical studies have found that many couples have misconceptions in finding the causes of infertility. Most men always make excuses for themselves, such as "everything is normal during the prenatal examination, how can it be my problem!" "I have already had a child, how can I have fertility problems?"... They like to shift the responsibility for infertility onto the woman, and many young women also take the initiative to "excuse" the man, He is physically strong, how could it be his problem? "... Xia Wei, Deputy Chief Physician of the Reproductive Infertility Department at Guangzhou First People's Hospital, said that prenatal examinations do not include testing for reproductive ability, and having reproductive ability in the past does not necessarily mean having reproductive ability now. When infertility is found, both husband and wife should go to the hospital together for treatment, and it is best to have the man undergo a routine semen test first.
The man's excuse: "Infertility is not my fault
Excuse 1: "Didn't the premarital check-up have been checked before? What else is there to check
Comment: Normal prenatal examination ≠ Normal reproductive ability
According to the reporter's inquiry on the website of Guangzhou Population and Family Planning Bureau, the free premarital examination in Guangzhou currently includes the following items: physical examination, blood routine examination, urine routine examination, chest X-ray examination, transaminase and hepatitis B surface antigen examination, thalassemia screening, broad bean disease screening, syphilis screening, gonorrhea screening, AIDS screening, etc.
Xia Wei said that these items mainly check sexually transmitted diseases and genetic diseases, and the inspection of genitals in physical examination is only limited to appearance, not including the detection of reproductive capacity. So, a normal prenatal examination does not mean that fertility is normal.
Excuse 2: "Is there a problem with my fertility? How could it be! My children are so old
Comment: Previously having fertility ≠ Now having fertility
Normal prenatal examination ≠ normal fertility
Xia Wei said that she once met a couple who were allowed to have a second child by policy. They had a child when they were young and now have a certain economic foundation. Both couples hope to have another child. But for the next four years, the second child that the couple had hoped for was never conceived. After examination, it was found that the quality and quantity of the husband's sperm were very low.
