Patient's question:
For a long time, I haven't been able to get pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was my problem that I haven't been able to have a child yet. I'm really very distressed. Could you please ask: What are the common methods used to treat immune infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the common treatments for immunological infertility include:1. Preventing antigen contact. Using condoms during each sexual encounter can prevent the further impact of sperm antigens on the female. Once the female's sperm antibody levels decrease, encourage the patient to have unprotected intercourse during the ovulation period or undergo artificial insemination.
2. Immunosuppressive methods. Corticosteroid drugs have anti-inflammatory effects and can affect macrophage toxicity, making them suitable for treating immunological infertility.
3. In vitro fertilization. Sperm and eggs are cultured in vitro to form a fertilized egg, which is then implanted into the uterine cavity 35 days after fertilization. Thus, sperm does not need to come into contact with the female reproductive tract, which contains sperm antibodies, before fertilization.
