Patient's question:
Treatment methods for immunological infertilityI've been married for several years, but so far, we 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:
Treatment Methods for Immunological Infertility1. Preventing Antigen Exposure: Use condoms during each sexual encounter to prevent further stimulation of the female by sperm antigens. When the female's sperm antibody level decreases, encourage the patient to have condom-free intercourse during the ovulation period or perform artificial insemination.
2. Immunosuppressive Treatment Methods: Immunosuppressive methods, such as corticosteroid drugs, have anti-inflammatory effects and can affect the toxicity of macrophages. These can be used to treat immunological infertility.
3. Intrauterine Artificial Insemination: When the patient's cervical mucus contains sperm antibodies that hinder conception, the husband's semen can be processed outside the body to combine with high-quality sperm for artificial insemination. This method prevents the impact of sperm antibodies in cervical mucus on sperm passage.
