Patient's question:
Female, 25 years old, I have been married for 4 years. During this time, I have never used contraception, but I still haven't been able to get pregnant. Is it possible that I am infertile? Please ask: How is immunological infertility formed?Doctor's answer:

Narrowly speaking, it means that infertile couples, in addition to having antisperm antibodies, are normal in other aspects. Infertility is usually caused by a combination of many factors. Autoimmune factors can be one of the factors, or they may also interact with other diseases to cause infertility. The reproductive system of the human body, such as seminal plasma, sperm, zona pellucida, and ovarian antigens, can produce allogenic autoimmune or autoimmune under specific conditions, producing their own additional antibodies, which hinder the combination of sperm and eggs, ultimately leading to infertility. This type of infertility is called immunological infertility.
