Many couples only start thinking about fertility after trying to conceive for a long time without success.
In reality, fertility screening is an important early step that can help identify potential issues sooner and provide a clearer understanding of factors that may affect the chances of pregnancy.
Current Situation in Malaysia
According to a report by the Fertility Society of Malaysia (2022), an estimated 1 in 6 couples experience fertility problems. This rate is believed to be increasing due to factors such as lifestyle, delayed marriage and childbearing, as well as health conditions including PCOS and endometriosis.
What Is Fertility Screening?
Fertility screening is a combination of medical tests for both men and women to assess factors that may affect the chances of pregnancy.
For Women
Hormone tests to assess ovulation.
Ultrasound scans to evaluate the condition of the uterus and ovaries.
Tests to determine whether the fallopian tubes are open or blocked.
For Men
Semen analysis to assess sperm quality and quantity.
Blood tests to evaluate fertility-related hormones.
Common Fertility Problems
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that may affect ovulation.
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, which may cause pain and fertility problems.
Blocked fallopian tubes can prevent the sperm and egg from meeting, making fertilisation more difficult.
Poor sperm quality is one of the common factors associated with male infertility.
Signs You May Need Fertility Screening
You have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months without success.
Your menstrual cycle is irregular or unusually painful.
You have a history of recurrent miscarriage.
Age may be a factor, especially for women over 35.
Men with certain health conditions, such as diabetes or obesity, may also benefit from fertility assessment.
