Hello, immunological infertility refers to infertility caused by immunological factors. Immunological infertility accounts for 10-30% of infertility cases, including various types such as anti-sperm antibodies, anti-endometrial antibodies, anti-ovum antibodies, and others. In clinical diagnosis, the most common form is immunological infertility caused by the production of anti-sperm 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, increasing the body's autoimmune response to sperm antigens. As a result, anti-sperm antibodies reappear in the local reproductive tract and bloodstream, interfering with sperm vitality and affecting fertilization, leading to infertility.
