Doctor: How are you? Patient: Hi, Dr. Lo. I am well. How are you?
Good. Why are you seeing the doctor today?
I want to see why I could not get pregnant after trying for half a year.
I see. I checked your medical history,
and you looked pretty healthy.
Yes. My health has been pretty good without ailments.
-Are you still smoking? -Yes, I still do.
How much do you smoke a day?
I smoke two-to-three cigarettes a day at this time.
Hmm. When did you stop taking birth control pills?
I stopped that half a year ago.
You are already 35 years old, and if you are trying to have a healthy baby,
you must quit smoking first.
Yes I know, doctor.
I have been trying to quit all this time.
I am smoking less now.
If you can’t quit smoking on your own,
we have some smoking cessation medications that may be able to help you.
Would you like to give it a try?
Yes, I would like to try it.
I will give you the smoking cessation medication.
I would also like you to come back a month from now to get a thorough examination
to see if there is anything that may make it difficult for you to get pregnant.
-Will that be good? -Yes. Thanks doctor.
Also, let’s set the quit date at one month. What do you think?
-Sounds good. Let’s go for it. -Great. Wish you success!
Thanks, doctor!
