Patient's question:
I had an abortion surgery last month, and now I always feel discomfort down there, a bit itchy, and have a lot of discharge that is yellow and smells fishy and foul. What could be going on?Question: If I am diagnosed with immune infertility, how can I treat it to see results?
Doctor's answer:
Common treatments for immunological infertility include:1. Preventing antigen exposure. Using condoms during each sexual encounter can prevent further stimulation of the female by sperm antigens. Once the female's sperm antibody levels decrease, encourage the patient to remove the condom during ovulation or undergo artificial insemination.
2. Immunosuppressive methods. Corticosteroid drugs have anti-inflammatory and macrophage-toxic effects, making them suitable for treating immunological infertility.
3. In vitro fertilization. Sperm and eggs are cultured in vitro to form a zygote, which is then implanted into the uterine cavity 35 days after fertilization. This ensures that sperm do not need to come into contact with the female reproductive tract, which contains sperm antibodies, before fertilization. After fertilization, the zygote is protected by its semi-transparent membrane, preventing sperm antibodies from attacking it remotely. Subsequently, the zygote implants.
