Patient's question:
After one year of marriage, the couple had always wanted a child but had not been successful. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they discovered they had immunological infertility. I want to know how to treat immunological infertility to get better?Doctor's answer:
Immune infertility has two types of definitions: narrow and broad. The broad definition refers to the body producing autoimmune reactions against antigens in tissues such as the hypothalamus. In women, this generally manifests as not experiencing menopause or amenorrhea, while in men, it is characterized by a low sperm count or poor sperm quality. The narrow definition means that infertile couples, in addition to having anti-sperm antibodies, are otherwise normal in other aspects. Infertility is usually caused by a combination of many factors. Autoimmune factors can be one of these factors, or they may also interact with other diseases to cause infertility. Antigens in the human reproductive system, such as seminal fluid, sperm, the zona pellucida, and ovarian antigens, can produce allogenic or autoimmune reactions under specific conditions.
