Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with immune infertility. I've been married for several years now, but 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 could be the matter?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for immunological infertility caused by antibodies in the female body, the condom masturbation method or the simultaneous intake of corticosteroid immune suppressants can be used for treatment.1) Preventing antigen contact: Using condoms during each act of intercourse can prevent sperm antigens from further stimulating the female. When the female's sperm antibody level decreases, encourage the patient to have intercourse with condoms during the ovulation period or to undergo artificial insemination.
2) Immunosuppressive methods: 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 affect fertility, the semen of her husband can be processed outside the body to combine with high-quality sperm for artificial insemination.
