Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm very worried that my condition might worsen. Can immune infertility be treated?Doctor's answer:
Immunological infertility can usually be treated, and there are several main treatment methods:1. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): When sperm antibodies in cervical mucus affect fertility, the husband's semen can be processed outside the body to combine with high-quality sperm for intrauterine insemination.
2. Barrier Therapy: Women with sperm alloimmunological infertility using condoms for 3–6 months can prevent further sperm antigen exposure to the female. After antibody titers decline, intercourse during the ovulation period may lead to conception.
3. Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)
4. Immunosuppressive Therapy: Corticosteroid drugs can be used to treat immunological infertility.
