Patient's question:
I met my husband when I was in college, and we never took any contraceptive measures while dating. However, I have never been pregnant. Now that we are preparing to get married, my family elders keep urging me, which is really annoying. Please ask: How is immune infertility treated and what are the reliable methods?Doctor's answer:
Immune infertility refers to a condition where the patient has normal menopause and reproductive tract function, without any detected sepsis factors, and the semen analysis of direct relatives falls within the normal range, but there is evidence of antifertility autoimmune response; it is caused by autoimmune or allogeneic autoimmune reactions to reproductive system antigens. Recent studies on autoimmune factors suggest that there are mainly two types of immune infertility: anti-sperm and anti-ovum zona pellucida immunity. Due to limited research on the latter so far, clinical diagnosis of immune infertility almost always refers to anti-sperm immune infertility. Modern medicine believes that the immune system is an extremely complex system, regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems, and in turn, it also regulates these systems, forming a neuroendocrine-immune regulatory network.
