Patient's question:
To have a child, I've done everything I could, but it still didn't work. The hospital did a thorough check and said I have immunological infertility. What is immunological infertility? Can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Infertility caused by immunological factors is collectively referred to as immunological infertility. The human body has a special protective function system called the immune system. This immune system has the ability to distinguish between self and foreign substances. However, some cells may be unable to be recognized by this system due to certain impairments or barriers. If the reproductive tract is damaged or inflamed again, causing sperm to mix with blood, an autoimmune response may occur. Approximately 5% to 10% of infertile men have sperm agglutinating antibodies and sperm immobilizing antibodies in their blood and semen, causing sperm to clump together and become immobile, thus leading to infertility.
