What are the treatment methods for immunological infertility?

Patient's question:

Female, 28 years old, diagnosed with immunological infertility.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Immunological infertility refers to a condition where the reproductive system in the body produces an autoimmune or allogeneic immune response against sperm, leading to infertility. Immunological infertility is one type of infertility, and for women, the following treatment methods can be adopted:
1. Avoid antigen exposure: Use condoms during sexual intercourse to reduce contact between sperm and the vagina, which can gradually lower the immune response of the vaginal immune system to sperm.
2. Immunosuppressive methods: Adrenal cortical hormone drugs can interfere with the antigenic effects of macrophages, making them useful for treating immunological infertility.
3. Artificial insemination: If you want to have a child but the treatment is ineffective, you can choose intrauterine artificial insemination to achieve pregnancy.
4. In vitro fertilization: Extract sperm and eggs, artificially inseminate them in vitro, and then return them to the uterus after 3 to 5 days. This can avoid the immune effects of sperm in the vagina, thereby preventing immunological infertility.
