Patient's question:
What are the causes of immunological infertility? Hello, Hello expert, what are the reasons that lead to immunological infertility? We have been married for several years, but we still don't have a child. I am very anxious myself, not knowing if it is my problem. I asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my illness will get worse. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
Immune infertility is a condition that affects some men and women today. The male testes have a blood-testis barrier, and when this barrier is damaged, sperm leakage can lead to the production of antisperm antibodies. The formation of antisperm antibodies in women differs from that in men. Although sperm are foreign to women, they have immunosuppressive effects on lymphocytes, which can inhibit the autoimmune response of the female body to sperm. However, if inflammation or injury occurs again, antibodies may still be produced. Since the causes of immune infertility vary, the symptoms exhibited by patients also differ. Blind treatment will only worsen the condition. Identifying the exact cause and receiving timely treatment are key to curing the disease.
