If it has been confirmed that there is a fallopian tube cyst, further examination is still needed to determine whether the fallopian tube cyst affects normal conception. If the fallopian tube cyst causes narrowing or blockage of the fallopian tube lumen, it may decrease the likelihood of normal conception or increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. If the cyst on the fallopian tube does not affect the spaciousness of the entire lumen or cause any blockage of the fallopian tube, it generally will not have any impact on normal conception.

How to deal with infertility caused by cold in the body?

Patients with cold-induced infertility often have a close relation to their living environment, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Keeping feet in warm water for about 10 to 30 minutes can effectively improve blood circulation and metabolism, promoting better blood flow and removing blockages in channels and collaterals, which can effectively alleviate cold constitution. Additionally, practices like scraping therapy and acupuncture can remove dampness from the body. Dietarily, it is important to avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods to prevent exacerbating the condition. Consuming warm-natured foods such as beef, lamb, red dates, brown sugar, and donkey-hide gelatin can effectively improve symptoms of a cold constitution.

Which department should I go to for infertility treatment?

For infertility issues, one should first visit a formal hospital. At the hospital, men can choose to see either a traditional Chinese medicine andrologist or a Western medicine andrologist, while women can opt to visit a traditional Chinese medicine infertility specialist, or a gynecology or obstetrics department. After consulting these departments, doctors will conduct various tests to identify and rule out causes of infertility. Then, based on the test results, they will administer targeted treatments or interventions. This approach helps infertility patients to conceive as soon as possible.

Do you test for TPPA for infertility?

TPPA testing is a diagnostic test for syphilis, used in cases of infertility. Typically, general hospitals do not include syphilis testing. If there is a high risk of syphilis, such as if either partner has a history of unprotected sexual intercourse, or if syphilis is suspected during pre-marital, prenatal, or pre-pregnancy examinations finding TP positive, a request can be made for TPPA testing. Diagnosis of syphilis requires both TPPA and RPR titers; the condition is assessed based on these two indicators.

What is infertility?

If a couple has been married for a year without using contraception, are not living separately, and have not conceived, or if there has been a history of abortion and no conception has occurred within six months of unprotected sexual activity, then this is considered infertility. Infertility can be due to female factors or male factors, with male infertility also accounting for a significant proportion. Male investigations are relatively simple, non-invasive, and also less expensive, so it is generally advisable to first conduct male tests, followed by female assessments, such as endocrine function, ovulation, uterine lining, fallopian tube examinations, or various biochemical tests, etc.
