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 which hospital is better for checking immunological infertility?Doctor's answer:
What tests are needed to check for immunological infertility? Many people are familiar with immunological infertility, so today let's explain it.1. Cervical Mucus Contact Test: To determine if there are antisperm antibodies in the cervical mucus.
2. Perinatal Immunology Examination: This includes a thorough check for sperm antigens, antisperm antibodies, and anti-endometrial antibodies. If possible, further tests in fluid immunology can be conducted.
3. In Vivo Cervical Mucus Function Test: Post-coital test to examine the function of cervical mucus, sperm viability, and penetration ability.
4. Special Tests:
- Urine and cervical mucus culture to check for microbial infections.
- For those suspected of having genetic diseases, both partners should undergo karyotype testing of chromosomes, or further family genetic surveys and pedigree mapping can be performed.
- Hormone testing.
