Patient's question:
After getting married with my husband, I have always wanted to have a little baby as soon as possible, but there has been no good news so far. A few days ago, I went for a check-up and found out that I have infertility. I felt like the sky was about to collapse. Please ask: How should I take care of immune infertility?Doctor's answer:
Immunological infertility refers to infertility caused by immunological factors. Autoimmune responses can be triggered by self-antigens in the reproductive system in both males and females, leading to autoimmune infertility, such as male anti-sperm immunological infertility and female anti-permeable zona autoimmune infertility. Sperm antigens can also cause a homologous anti-sperm autoimmune response in females, known as homologous anti-sperm autoimmune infertility. Immunological infertility is caused by abnormal autoimmune factors in the body. Prevention efforts should focus on a balanced diet, personal hygiene, regular physical exercise, and reducing resistance. Additionally, appropriate and moderate sexual activity is important, as excessive frequency or excessive coldness can negatively affect the body, leading to decreased sperm quality in males and an inability to maintain normal endocrine levels in females, thereby contributing to autoimmune factors.
