The destruction of corpus luteum cells can lead to infertility. The most common issue is the obvious rupture of the corpus luteum, accompanied by excessive pelvic fluid, which requires surgical treatment. Post-surgery, there could be pelvic adhesion, leading to partial fallopian tube adhesion, which may result in blockages or obstructions in the fallopian tubes. Therefore, during pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy may occur, and even infertility, particularly in some women who do not seek timely medical treatment after a corpus luteum rupture. This leads to the spread of pelvic inflammatory disease, which may even develop into chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. It is essential to be cautious and avoid vigorous physical activities to prevent the dangerous rupture of the corpus luteum.

Can infertility be treated with IVF?

Infertility cannot be universally treated with IVF; it requires specific analysis of each case. Before considering IVF, a pre-operative assessment is necessary to determine if the criteria for IVF are met. Infertility can be caused by male factors, female factors, or unknown reasons. Male factors can be addressed with artificial insemination or third-generation IVF. Female factors, like tubal issues, are suitable for IVF. If ovarian factors can stimulate follicle production, IVF is also possible. However, uterine factors causing infertility preclude the use of IVF.

Will taking melatonin cause infertility in women?

Taking melatonin daily will not cause infertility in women. Melatonin can help with sleep and regulate immune function, but for women around 30 years old experiencing poor sleep, it should not be taken frequently. Since it is a hormonal medication, long-term use can not only have adverse effects on the body but also lead to dependency. During this period, women should ensure proper rest, engage in appropriate daytime activities, and maintain a regular lifestyle to help improve sleep quality. Additionally, maintaining a good mood is important. If you feel particularly depressed, it is advisable to consult a psychologist.

How many abortions can lead to infertility?

How many abortions lead to infertility is uncertain. Some people become infertile after just one abortion, while others may still be able to conceive normally after four or five abortions. This varies greatly depending on the individual's constitution, their condition after the procedure, and the doctor performing the surgery. Some people have weaker immune systems and may experience infections within the uterine cavity after surgery; such conditions can easily lead to uterine adhesions and blockages in the fallopian tubes, resulting in infertility. Others with stronger immune systems can recover quickly after surgery, generally without impacting their ability to conceive. Inexperienced surgeons might cause damage to the endometrium and uterine adhesions, which can also lead to infertility.

How to cure immune infertility

Immune infertility comes in many forms, such as anti-sperm antibody positivity and anti-endometrial antibody positivity, among others. The treatment for immune infertility commonly involves the use of isolating therapy, which entails using a condom during sexual intercourse. After using this method for three to six months, it can reduce further stimulation of the female by the sperm antigen, and once the antibody effect has dissipated, intercourse is timed with ovulation. At this time, conception is often possible. For immune infertility, some may choose intrauterine artificial insemination depending on the situation, which involves processing and separating the husband's semen outside the body to extract high-quality sperm for intrauterine insemination. Another method is anti-immune therapy, but the medications often have adverse side effects on the body.

Can infertile people get married?

On a voluntary basis, infertile patients who do not have legally specified diseases that impede or postpone marriage can marry. However, marriage is unsuitable in cases such as severe mental illnesses, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, severe intellectual disabilities such as dementia, and during an active phase of certain communicable diseases. This includes untreated syphilis, gonorrhea, AIDS, Hepatitis A, open tuberculosis, leprosy, and others. These diseases may potentially harm the other party, and in such cases, one should not marry or should postpone marriage.
