Patient's question:
Started trying to conceive right after getting married with my husband, and it's been many years now without success. My menstrual cycle has also been quite irregular, so I suspect it's my issue. How should I treat immune infertility for better results?Doctor's answer:
Immune infertility generally has no obvious symptoms. If a couple has been married without using contraception and has not conceived after having normal sexual intercourse for over 2 years, and both partners have no obvious reproductive system disorders, then it is necessary to consider the possibility of immune infertility. Additionally, men may develop antisperm antibodies due to damage to the blood-testis barrier, leading to autoimmune cells attacking sperm. Therefore, men who have previously suffered from conditions such as vas deferens damage or testicular/epididymal inflammation should be more vigilant. Treatment methods should be determined based on the underlying cause, and assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination may be used when necessary. Immune infertility patients can still become pregnant.
