Patient's question:
After getting married, I have been working hard to have children, but I haven't been able to achieve my wish. After checking at the hospital, it was found that it is immune infertility. Please ask: What are the common methods for treating immune infertility?Doctor's answer:
About 10% to 20% of infertility cases are classified as immunological infertility. The main treatment methods include:(1) Barrier therapy: Women with sperm alloimmunological infertility who use condoms for 3 to 6 months can prevent further stimulation of sperm antigens by the female. After the antibody titer decreases, sexual intercourse during the ovulation period can be attempted, with the hope of achieving delivery.
(2) Immunosuppressive therapy: Corticosteroid drugs can be used to treat immunological infertility. For example, prednisone 5mg can be taken three times daily for two weeks before menopause. There are also reports of local vaginal application of hydrocortisone to treat infertile women with anti-sperm antibodies in cervical mucus.
