Patient's question:
How is immune infertility treated? I've been married for several years, but I still don't have any children. I'm very anxious myself, not knowing if it's my problem. I asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition will worsen. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Infertility caused by infection refers to patients who have gone through menopause and normal reproductive tract function, without any discovered blood infection factors. The semen routine examination of direct relatives is within the normal range, but there is evidence of anti-pregnancy autoimmune. It is caused by autoimmune or allogeneic autoimmune to the antigen of the reproductive system.Tests on autoimmune factors suggest that there are mainly two types of immune infertility: anti-sperm and anti-oocyte zona pellucida. Due to the limited tests on the latter so far, clinical diagnosis of immune infertility mostly refers to anti-sperm immune infertility.
Modern medicine believes that the immune system is an extremely complex system, regulated by the nervous and endocrine systems. In turn, it also adjusts the nervous and endocrine systems, forming a neuroendocrine-immune regulatory network.
