Patient's question:
I've been married for several years now, and we still 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. Could you please tell me how to treat immunological infertility?Doctor's answer:
Immune infertility refers to the presence of anti-sperm antibodies in a woman's reproductive tract or serum, which cause sperm agglutination, loss of vitality, or death, leading to infertility or subfertility. Additionally, some infertile women have anti-antibody-like substances in their serum against their own zona pellucida, which can hinder sperm penetration into the egg, resulting in infertility. Autoimmune factors should not be considered the sole cause of infertility or coexisting with other etiologies. Treatment methods, including isolation, immunosuppression, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation, are implemented based on the complete elimination of blood-borne pathogens. These approaches maintain high cure rates and pregnancy success rates.
