If pregnancy has not occurred despite having sexual intercourse 2 or 3 times a week for a year without using any birth control, you are considered infertile and in this case, it is time to consult a doctor.
You now need medical help. This does not mean that pregnancy cannot occur spontaneously, that is, there is still a very low chance of pregnancy occurring spontaneously without any treatment. However, from a medical perspective, this chance decreases as time goes by. Therefore, you should decide the right time to start treatment, taking into account the fact that the chance of spontaneous pregnancy decreases with age.
- If your periods are less than 3 weeks apart,
- Irregular
- If it occurs at intervals of more than 3 months
- If there is a history of pelvic (intra-abdominal) infection
- Have a history of 2 or more miscarriages
For men, if you have a history of prostate infection or if the testicles cannot be felt in the scrotum, you should not wait to see your doctor.
