Patient's question:
What are the basic causes of immunological infertility?Doctor's answer:
1. Autoimmune response of the same kind: Refers to the sperm and seminal plasma of the male acting as antigens in the female body, producing antibodies that cause sperm agglutination or loss of motility. Under normal circumstances, women do not produce autoimmune responses, but about 15%-18% of infertile women have anti-sperm antibodies.2. Local autoimmune response: Refers to some infertile women whose cervical mucosa and endometrium contain lymphoid cells that produce immunoglobulins G and A. The cervical mucus contains anti-sperm immunoglobulins G, A, and M, so the cervix and female reproductive tract have a local autoimmune response to sperm. During treatment, it is recommended that patients maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
