What is secondary infertility?

In life, many young people are unable to conceive, which directly threatens the happiness of the family and the relationship between husband and wife.

In fact, secondary infertility is also an infertility disease, but the type is different. So what is secondary infertility?

First, what is secondary infertility? Secondary infertility refers to the inability to conceive in the past, including the following types: Amenorrhea: excessive suction or curettage will damage the basal layer of the endometrium, or excessive scraping with a curette will scrape off the basal layer of the endometrium, making it impossible for the endometrium to regenerate, resulting in long-term amenorrhea, or lax surgical aseptic operation or uterine cavity infection after abortion will cause uterine cavity adhesion and amenorrhea. Sexually transmitted diseases: Many sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma, etc., which cause cervical erosion and endocervicitis, can retrogradely infect and form endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and salpingitis. These inflammations can change the internal environment and function of the pelvic cavity and affect the transportation and implantation of the fertilized egg.

Second, what to do for secondary infertility? For secondary infertility, it is recommended to check the condition of the uterus through B-ultrasound, analyze the cause based on the B-ultrasound, and confirm the treatment plan based on the results of the examination to see if the chance of pregnancy can be increased through surgery or other means.

The occurrence of secondary infertility is also closely related to our own immunity. For example, our body produces some anti-sperm antibodies, which will cause immune infertility, or it may be due to ovarian dysfunction. If menstrual irregularities or ovulation disorders often occur in life, it will also cause secondary infertility.
