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 falling down. 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-perivitelline autoimmune infertility. Sperm antigens can also cause homologous anti-sperm autoimmune reactions 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 over-coldness can negatively affect the body, leading to decreased sperm quality in males and disrupted endocrine systems in females, thereby contributing to autoimmune factors.
