Nowadays, many women suffer from infertility, and primary infertility accounts for the vast majority of all types of infertility. Many women believe that primary infertility is congenital infertility, but this understanding is incorrect. Primary infertility refers to a situation where a woman has normal sexual activity and no contraception, but has not become pregnant for a year. So, can primary infertility be treated?
Whether primary infertility can be cured depends on the specific condition, but 90% of primary infertility cases can be treated. The most common primary infertility is tubal abnormalities, which are mostly caused by blockage of the fallopian tubes or untreated pelvic inflammatory disease, leading to infertility.
For primary infertility caused by blocked fallopian tubes, patients first need to undergo fallopian tube imaging examination. Doctors will use contrast agents to visualize the fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity to confirm whether the tubes are unobstructed and identify the location of the blockage. After diagnosis, treatment will be carried out through laparoscopy combined with surgery, which is a fast acting, minimally invasive, and painless treatment method.
In primary infertility, infertility caused by congenital reproductive system abnormalities is the most difficult to treat. For example, uterine malformations, double uterus, and uterine septum often require surgical treatment. However, some female reproductive system abnormalities cannot be cured with current medical technology.
