Patient's question:
Hello, I've been married for several years, but so far, I haven't had any children. I'm also very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. What exactly is immunological infertility? I've been unable to conceive, and the doctor said it's immunological infertility.Doctor's answer:
Immunological infertility is infertility caused by autoimmune factors. The immune system of the body can relatively accurately distinguish between self-matter and foreign matter, which is the primary defense to ensure the health of the body. Generally, autoimmune and reproductive system functions are normally separate, but they may become intertwined due to the influence of certain factors, leading to the inability of the female to conceive. This immunological cause of female infertility is known as "immunological infertility." Fertility is a vast collection of diseases, although the final outcomes of these diseases are the same, the causes are varied, possibly numbering over 150 different types. Immunological infertility is just a small subset of them.
