Patient's question:
I met my husband when I was in university, and we never took any contraceptive measures while dating. However, I have never been pregnant. Now that we are preparing to get married, my family elders keep urging me, which is really annoying. Could you please tell me: what are the methods for treating immunological infertility?Doctor's answer:
Antibodies against sperm are a complex pathological product, affecting both men and women, and their exact causes are not yet fully understood. Sperm and seminal fluid from men are considered specific antigens for women. Upon contact with the bloodstream, they can trigger autoimmune reactions in both men and women, leading to the production of additional antibodies that hinder the combination of sperm and eggs, resulting in infertility. These conditions, known as sperm immune infertility.For immune infertility, treatments such as isolation therapy and immunosuppressive therapy are recommended. It is advised to seek treatment at a reputable hospital early on to avoid missing the optimal age for childbirth. Immune infertility is a gynecological condition prone to occurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good cleanliness. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery!
