Patient's question:
I got married last year, but I haven't been pregnant yet. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have immunological infertility. I'm here to consult medical experts about it. What is immunological infertility? If anyone familiar with this field can help me clarify this, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Immunological infertility refers to the condition where a woman's body rejects sperm, fertilized eggs, and other self-antigens, with the causes divided into local autoimmune reactions, homologous autoimmune reactions, excessive sexual activity, sperm autoimmune reactions, female body fluid immune reactions, and abnormal local endometrial cell autoimmune reactions. The harms include obstructing sperm penetration through cervical mucus, affecting sperm enzyme activity, inhibiting the concentration of the zona pellucida and corona radiata, and impacting embryonic development.
