They did not choose to go to the military hospital. This was Ye Xingchen's insistence because she did not want everyone to know.
When Lou Xi saw her red and swollen eyes, he felt distressed, so she did whatever she said.
Because of his work, Ye Xingchen was familiar with the conditions in major hospitals. The Second Hospital of the Medical University was the most famous in this area, so they chose to go there.
Because it was the weekend, there were not many people in the hospital. She thought this was good. The fewer people there, the better, and it was almost impossible for them to meet any acquaintances here.
After checking into a specialist clinic, they waited together in the corridor for their number to be called.
In the corridor, there were several other couples coming to see the doctor, no, for examination.
Ye Xingchen was unwilling to use the words "see a doctor" because she felt that there could be nothing wrong with Lou Xi. They had a child before they knew it, and it couldn't be more normal, so he must be healthy.
Yes, she even planned to wait for a while and do another check-up herself. After all, the possibility of something going wrong with her was much greater than that of him.
Amidst the anxiety and sadness, their number was finally called and they entered the consulting room together.
The doctor is an old lady, a very authoritative professor, with gray hair, a very calm and calm expression, and warm eyes. There is no excessive concern or even pity and sympathy. It is as if they are here to treat people with a cold.
A feeling of peace of mind.
Ye Xingchen suddenly felt extremely grateful and felt that this doctor was really considerate.
The doctor asked a few questions and then ordered them to do tests separately.
Of course, Ye Xingchen didn't say that she had actually checked it out, and silently went to the women's clinic with the list.
Many projects were done, and of course the test results could not come out all at once. One moment the nurse brought them a report sheet, and the next moment another nurse came to tell them a certain result. This process was like being delayed.
The list was like a knife, cutting deeply and ruthlessly through the apex of their hearts. There were still many results that needed to be taken to the laboratory for analysis and comparison. The doctor told them that they would not be able to get all the report sheets until four in the afternoon.
This is like the process of a criminal waiting to be judged. One minute seems as long as a century. In fact, many times, people are not afraid of death, but the process of waiting for the result is too painful.
Finally, the hands on the watch pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon, and the final "judgment" finally arrived.
"Ye Xingchen!" The door to the consulting room opened, and a nurse inside called her name.
Hearing the sound, Ye Xingchen stood up eagerly. At the same time, Lou Xi also stood up, but the nurse stopped him, "Sir, the doctor only asked your wife to go in alone."
"Why?" He frowned subconsciously.
"It's okay, I'll go in first and I might wait a while before I get to you." Ye Xingchen quickly comforted him, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
She is also a doctor, and she often does this kind of thing. Many patients come to the hospital accompanied by their family members. When encountering some troublesome conditions, doctors usually do not tell the patients directly, because telling the truth may affect the patient's psychology.
As a result, his condition worsened, and the real situation can only be told to his family.
Lou Xi had no choice but to continue waiting in the corridor.
Ye Xingchen squeezed his hand hard, not knowing whether he wanted to give him strength or to give himself courage. After shaking it deeply, he slowly let go and followed the nurse into the consulting room.
As soon as the door closed, her tears fell quickly, but she tried hard not to cry out.
"Ms. Ye, please sit down." The doctor's tone was still calm, not unsympathetic, not sad, but he has experienced too many such situations, and the patient's psychology is very fragile at this time. As a doctor, he must remain calm.
, only in this way can we help them.
Ye Xingchen wiped away his tears, sat opposite the doctor, and asked in a trembling voice, "How was the result...?"
The doctor handed her several test sheets. There were several numbers on the paper with red circles, which meant abnormal indicators. He informed her, "Your husband's sperm survival rate is very low, as low as only 10% of normal people."
one."
Ye Xingchen felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The sun outside was so bright, but she was trembling with cold.
"How, how is it possible?" She heard the sound of her teeth clashing, and stressed hard, with an obvious tone of defense, "We had a child before!"
The doctor was silent for a moment, and instead of being angry because of her questioning, he kindly handed her a glass of warm water in an attempt to calm her down.
Ye Xingchen held the paper cup, lowered her head, and tears fell into the cup. In fact, she could easily fill the paper cup with tears, but she knew that crying was useless. She had to be strong, face reality, and save her.
Happiness!
Wiping away her tears, she raised her head and drank all the water in the paper cup. The warm liquid slid down her throat and fell into her stomach, which was warm.
But she felt it was not enough, so she asked the doctor for another drink, and drank it again until there was not a drop left.
Then, the third cup, the fourth cup...
It wasn't until her stomach was bloated and she couldn't drink anymore that she slowly stopped. Her stomach was full, which made her heart feel less empty for the time being.
The doctor felt that her mood had almost recovered, so he spoke again, this time in a chatting tone, "Have you ever had any examinations in this area before?"
Ye Xingchen shook his head, the hand holding the paper cup trembling slightly.
"In this case, his data is only available once and is difficult to compare, so I need to communicate with him personally. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
Ye Xingchen's hand holding the paper cup suddenly tightened, almost crushing the cup, and the water inside spilled out, but she didn't notice it and only said hastily, "No! We can't let him know!"
She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it!
This kind of thing is a fatal blow to any man, let alone such a determined and bloody Lou Xi?
In her opinion, he was strong, resolute, unruly, and too pure to tolerate any flaws. She could not imagine what would happen to him when he knew this cruel truth, and he also longed to have a child!
But she doesn't want him to bear the burden. She cares more about his feelings than wanting a child! At worst, they won't have children. In fact, it's not a big deal. There are many DINK families now, and they still have Sisi.
, Sisi is so good, so cute, even if they give birth to their own child, the child may not be obedient, so don’t be so troublesome. It takes ten months to get pregnant, and you have to confine yourself after giving birth.
It would be too troublesome to raise a child at Diandian, and the two children might compete for favor and fight, so we might as well not have any more children. It would be enough for them to have Sisi. Anyway, Sisi has long recognized that they are their biological parents. They
They all regard Sisi as their biological daughter.
"Doctor, I...we don't want to have children anymore. Please tell him later that it's me who has the problem. Please, just say that I can't give birth..." Although the result is the same, if it were changed to
If she has problems, he will no longer doubt himself, and he will still be the same Lou Xi.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The door of the consulting room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Lou Xi's tall figure flashed in.
Ye Xingchen's lips were half-opened, his unfinished words were frozen in the air, and his face turned pale, as haggard as paper.
The paper cup in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop" sound, and liquid water splashed at her feet, making her feel like she was walking on thin ice for a moment.
At this moment, she was like a child who had done something wrong. Even the way she looked at him was so uneasy, flustered, and awkward at a loss.
Lou Xi saw her panicking, even trembling with fear, and suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He walked slightly closer, bent down to pick up the paper cup, and tried his best to stay calm, but the slightly trembling fingers revealed his inner feelings.
Sadness.
In fact, he was also panicked.
"Sit down!" The doctor sighed quietly. In this case, he could only speak frankly.
Both of them didn't move. After being stiff for a while, Lou Xi came to his senses first. He took her hand and sat down together. He noticed the trembling of her fingers, and when she touched them lightly, her fingertips hurt slightly. Only then did he know
, it turns out that there is a connection with the heart.
The doctor poured two more glasses of water for them. She had done this kind of thing every day for a lifetime. There were thousands of similar patients. Regardless of their condition, the key was to stabilize their emotions first.
It is indeed difficult to calm down without the problem of children, but once a person loses his mind, everything is empty talk.
The doctor's duty is not only to save lives, but also to take good care of the patient's psychology.
Xu Shi's professionalism as an old professor came into play, and both Lou Xi and Ye Xingchen slowly controlled their inner panic.
"Please tell me!" Lou Xi was the first to break the silence, with a hoarseness that could not be concealed in his voice.
The doctor nodded slightly, but first reassured them and said, "Don't be nervous, just like chatting with me. I'm going to ask you some questions. You don't need to answer them in a hurry. You can think about it carefully before talking, okay?"
"Okay!" Lou Xi still said.
The doctor said "Yeah" happily, feeling that he was very responsible as a man.
She has come into contact with too many cases. After learning that there is something wrong with their body, many men become depressed, irritable, sensitive, have low self-esteem, feel sorry for themselves, and even do not know what is good or bad, like the one in front of her.
However, there are not many people who can still restrain themselves and remain calm despite the huge blow and panic.
Physiological problems are not easy to change, but science is progressing every day, and psychological problems are even more difficult to solve. Once a person's psychological defense line collapses, even if Hua Tuo is alive, there will be no help. There have been so many people who have been diagnosed with incurable diseases.
A large part of the reason why people suffering from the disease have created miracles is because they have a strong enough psychology, dare to face doctors, dare to face reality, and live strong and optimistically.
Therefore, communication between doctors and patients is particularly important.
"Mr. Lou, what is your occupation?"
"Special Forces."
The questions the doctor was about to ask suddenly seemed unnecessary, because she knew that his living habits and work and rest time would be so good that it was incredible, and he was unlikely to have any bad habits.
In addition, the special forces have very high requirements for people's physical fitness. They will have regular physical examinations. Although fertility may not be checked, the human body is an organic whole, and no problem is independent or independent.
More or less, it may interact with other organs or parts, but his other examination reports are all normal.
The old professor has been practicing medicine all her life, and for the first time she encountered a problem during a consultation. She didn't even understand why such a healthy man would have such a problem.
After being silent for a long time, she remembered the only possibility and said cautiously, "I know the special nature of your profession. Some things involve military secrets and cannot be said casually. But in your case, it is likely that you have been subjected to
It’s caused by chemical pollution. Think about it, have you ever experienced it?”
"Yes, but it's impossible." Lou Xi admitted that he had been exposed to chemicals, but after returning from the mission, everyone who participated in the operation would undergo a physical examination. All indicators of his body were normal, and no problems were found, and it involved
Several years have passed since the chemical operation, and he and Xingchen had a child last year!
The doctor frowned deeply. What else could be the reason?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "What about radioactive material radiation? Have you ever been exposed to it?"
radiation?
Lou Xi was suddenly startled, yes!
It was the time when the E City earthquake occurred. He led several soldiers into the nuclear power plant. The situation in the nuclear power plant was very dangerous at that time. One unit reactor was facing the possibility of exploding at any time. An engineer risked his life to enter the most dangerous core area.
After rescuing the reactor, he finally succeeded in stopping the reactor, but the engineer no longer had the strength to come out. In the crisis, he rushed in and carried the engineer out on his back.
Because they all wore radiation-proof clothes at the time, he thought there was no danger. After the situation in the disaster area stabilized a little, he went to Colombia and did not do any radiation testing after returning.
This must be the problem. He underestimated the intensity of radiation in the core area of the nuclear power plant. It should be that some kind of radioactive material silently invaded his body and affected something, leading to the current situation.
But if things happened over again, he would still choose to rush in to save people. The engineer risked his life to go in. As a soldier, how could he back down? And if there was an explosion and a nuclear leakage, the consequences would not be what they are now.
, it is not just his body that has this problem, but thousands of people will be harmed. The harm of nuclear radiation can last for decades or even hundreds of years. Unknown radioactive substances that invade the human body will cause
Produce various chemical reactions, lead to various diseases, and even genetic mutations, and thousands of families will face suffering. What does it mean to sacrifice him alone?
But... Xingchen is eager to have a child, what should she do?
The doctor immediately understood and analyzed the current situation, "You had a child last year, but now the data shown on your test sheet is extremely low, indicating that the intensity of radiation is very high. As for whether it will continue
It will bring more serious harm. I can't judge now. Although the human body has the function of automatic repair, some abnormal indicators may only last for a period of time. After a period of time, it may return to normal levels, but I can't
It is recommended that you have another check-up in a few months or six months, because no one can guarantee whether your value will rebound by then. If it does not increase but decreases, the situation will be worse, so... I suggest you
Do in vitro fertilization as soon as possible.”
"test tube baby?"
"Yes, because your current data shows that it is one-tenth of normal people. The laboratory will carefully screen out the healthiest sperm among these one-tenth, and then take the eggs from the mother's body outside the body and let them
The fertilization process is completed in an artificially controlled environment outside the body, and then the early embryos are transplanted into the mother's body to gestate into a child. This is a very mature technology, you can rest assured." The doctor said professionally.
Ye Xingchen nodded. She studied medicine and knew more or less about this aspect, so she thought it was feasible.
But Lou Xi couldn't accept it. Xingchen suffered so much! But if he didn't agree, would he just watch her live without a child of her own?
"Is there any other way?" he asked the doctor expectantly.
"Yes, yes, but your chance of natural conception is only 1%. Artificial insemination means that the eggs are not taken out of the body. The success rate is 10%. The success rate of IVF is 20%, which is already the highest."
Only 20%!
Lou Xi's heart tightened and the pain was severe.
It was already sunset in the west, twilight, time was passing through orange, the bustling day was slowly coming to an end, and the desolate sunlight slanted on his resolute profile, and his eyes were long and astringent.
After a moment of silence, he took Ye Xingchen's hand and stood up slowly. His eyes were deep and his voice was distant, "Let's go back and think about it first."
The doctor nodded understandingly, "Of course."
Ye Xingchen was stunned and was almost forced out of the consulting room by Lou Xi. After reaching the corridor, she quickly grabbed his sleeves, her tone seemed to be pleading, and said hurriedly, "Don't think about it anymore."
Yes, I think it’s okay!”
She originally thought that there was no hope at all, but now there is a glimmer of hope. It is not the time to despair yet. They still have hope, even if it is very small, even if it is shattered in the end, they have to try anything.
!What else is there to think about? They should ask the doctor to arrange a time immediately!
"Xingchen..." Lou Xi looked at her unreserved expression and couldn't help but feel distressed, "You are a doctor. You should know better than me. IVF will be very hard for you!"
Ye Xingchen wiped her tears and tried to smile. Of course she knew that she had to take ovulation-stimulating drugs first, then take ovulation injections, and do B-ultrasound examinations every other day. If everything was normal, she would take out the healthy eggs in her body, and then
Take his sperm into the laboratory for cultivation, wait until the embryo is formed, and then implant it into her body. After that, she will have to take many more injections to ensure that the embryo is stable, and she will also face the risk of miscarriage in the later stage, etc. If once
If it fails, it will take a second, third, or fourth time... But these are not problems. As long as it can help him give birth to a child, any problem is not a problem!
"I'm not afraid!" she said firmly. For him, she would endure any hardship!
Lou Xi's heart suddenly twisted into a ball. When he learned that there was something wrong with his body, he was not so sad. But seeing Xingchen like this, he couldn't stand it. She was very scared, but she
It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to be a mother for the rest of my life, but that I'm afraid that he will be sad, have low self-esteem, and won't be able to hold his head high in front of others.
But in fact, he really doesn't think so much. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that people who really care about him won't look down on him because of it. And why should he care about other irrelevant people? He's not doing it for them.
Live! He wanted a child because she was the child's mother. He felt uncomfortable because he couldn't give her a lovely child.
She was so kind to Sisi, and she had been so sad because of losing her child. How could he bear to let her lose the chance to be a mother because of him? But he really couldn't bear to let her suffer that kind of hardship, which was not the same as what he was training for. Bleeding and sweating on the court was different. It was a living experience of both physical and psychological suffering. The success rate was only 20%. He didn't dare to think about it. If it really failed, what would happen to the embryo that was supposed to become a little life? What would happen, he felt distressed, distressed and even a little sick, he felt the same, and she would be in so much pain when the time came.
No, no, he couldn't accept it, he couldn't bear it anymore, another or even more little lives disappearing from her body.
She was healthy, she was young, and if it hadn't been for him, it would have been easy for her to have children.
He looked at her deeply and spoke quietly, feeling pain in his heart every time he said a word, "Let's... get a divorce..."
