Patient's question:
I haven't been able to conceive for about a year. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I have immune infertility. What are the most effective treatments for immune infertility?Doctor's answer:
Immunological infertility refers to infertility caused by immunological factors. Immunological infertility accounts for approximately 10-30% of infertility cases, including various types such as anti-sperm antibodies, anti-endometrial antibodies, anti-ovum antibodies, and others. Clinically, the most common form of immunological infertility is caused by the production of anti-sperm antibodies.1. In vitro fertilization. If a woman has persistently high levels of anti-sperm antibodies in her body, she may need to undergo in vitro fertilization to achieve pregnancy. This treatment method has a very high conception rate.
2. Immunosuppressive therapy. Corticosteroid drugs can be used to treat immunological infertility. For example, prednisone 5mg can be taken three times a day for two weeks before menopause. However, this treatment method can cause harm to a woman's body.
3. Barrier therapy.
