Teo Korean Medicine Clinic Bundang: when looking at care for infertility, For subfertility and infertility, the treatment and its direction matter more than anything.
If menstruation has been absent for 3 months or more, or the cycle has changed a great deal, it helps to check the cause first rather than viewing it only as infertility.
Changes in the menstrual cycle can also come from other causes such as thyroid disease or a prolactin hormone abnormality, so checking the cause through testing comes first, separately from fertility care. If there is nipple discharge, please have that checked in care as well.
If any of the following apply, you may want to consider a consultation for infertility care.
When pregnancy does not occur for a year or more despite not using contraception
When a woman is 35 or older and has not become pregnant for 6 months or more
When menstruation is irregular
When there is a history of pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis
Men who know or suspect that their semen quality is poor
Not becoming pregnant for 1 year or more without contraception meets the general self-check criterion for infertility.
However, for women aged 35 or older, not becoming pregnant after 6 months or more is also given as a self-check criterion, so the point at which to get checked may vary with age.
For both criteria, accurate confirmation is made through a consultation.
