Patient's question:
What is immune infertility? I've been married for several years, but I still don't have any children. I'm very anxious myself and don't know if it's my problem. I asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition will get worse.Doctor's answer:
Hello, immunological infertility refers to infertility caused by immunological factors. Immunological infertility accounts for approximately 10-30% of infertility cases, including various types such as antisperm antibodies, anti-endometrial antibodies, anti-oocyte antibodies, etc. Clinically, the most common form of immunological infertility is that caused by the production of antisperm antibodies. Due to reproductive tract inflammation in women, local secretion increases, allowing autoimmune-related cells to enter the reproductive tract. Simultaneously, changes in the reproductive tract mucosa enhance the processing of sperm antigens. Additionally, bacterial, viral, and other infectious agents may act as natural adjuvants.
