Patient's question:
How should one undergo a thorough examination for immunological infertility? I've been married for several years now, but I still haven't had any children. I'm very anxious and don't know if it's my problem. I asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen.Doctor's answer:
1. Functional examination of cervical mucus in the body: The test after sexual intercourse is used to examine the function of cervical mucus, sperm viability, and penetration ability.2. Perinatal immunology examination: This is also one of the examination items for immunological infertility, including the examination of sperm antigens, anti-sperm antibodies, and anti-endometrial antibodies. If conditions permit, further body fluid immunology examination can be conducted, including cD50 IgG, IgA, IgM, etc.
3. Measurement of cervical mucus sperm antibodies: The use of biotin-avidin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure cervical mucus sperm antibodies is a reliable method. It is a new generation of quantitative determination methods. For patients with immunological infertility, in addition to regular treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal nursing training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised to female patients that they must regularly follow up.
