Patient's question:
After getting married to my husband, I had always wanted to have a little baby as soon as possible, but there was no good news for a long time. A few days ago, I went for a check-up and found out that I have infertility. I felt like the sky was falling down. Please ask: How should I treat immune infertility?Doctor's answer:
(1) Prevent antigen contact: Using condoms during each act of intercourse can prevent further stimulation of the female by sperm antigens. Once the female's sperm antibody levels decrease, encourage the patient to engage in intercourse with condoms during the ovulation period, or perform artificial insemination.(2) Immunosuppressive methods: Corticosteroid drugs have anti-inflammatory and macrophage-toxic effects. Therefore, they can be used to treat immunological infertility.
(3) Intrauterine artificial insemination: When the patient's cervical mucus contains sperm antibodies that affect fertility, the husband's semen can be processed ex vivo to combine with high-quality sperm for artificial insemination. This method prevents the impact of sperm antibodies in cervical mucus on sperm passage.
