What Do Different Menstrual Symptoms Mean?

To increase the chances of a successful pregnancy, it’s important to maintain a healthy uterus and overall body condition. Common menstrual issues include heavy or scant bleeding, abnormal blood color, excessive clots, diarrhea during periods, dizziness, chills, and lower back or leg pain. Some symptoms may be linked to endometriosis or other gynecological conditions. Menstrual pain has many causes, and if symptoms are severe or frequent, medical evaluation is advised. Nonsteroidal pain relievers are more effective when taken before the onset of pain. Additionally, CA-125 tests should be avoided during menstruation to prevent false high readings. Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility, so early screening to rule out pathology is recommended.

Do Lifestyle Habits Affect Fertility?

Studies show that caffeine has little impact on the number of eggs retrieved, fertilization rate, or live birth rate in IVF treatments, but consuming more than 200mg of caffeine per day during pregnancy may increase miscarriage risk. In terms of diet, a Mediterranean or balanced diet can improve pregnancy rates; reduce processed foods and consume more vegetables, fruits, and fish. Regarding exercise, a consistent and moderate routine benefits sperm quality and conception, while excessive or sudden high-intensity exercise—especially in women exercising over 4 hours per week without a long-term habit—may lower implantation and live birth rates. Both men and women are advised to maintain steady, moderate exercise and a healthy lifestyle to optimize fertility.

The Vital Triangle of Reproductive Medicine

At Huayu, the “golden triangle” of attending physicians, consultants, and embryologists safeguards patients throughout their fertility journey. The attending physician leads the treatment plan, making key decisions; the consultant is the first point of contact, gathering physical and emotional information, facilitating communication, providing emotional support, and often serving as a multilingual interpreter; the embryologist plays a pivotal laboratory role, selecting gametes, culturing embryos, performing genetic testing, and determining the optimal time for implantation. Together, they ensure every step is precise, working as a team to help patients achieve their dream of having a child.
