Patient's question:
Before getting married, I had had sexual relationships. I'm not young anymore. This year, we're both planning to have a child. After getting married, we didn't use any contraception and had sex on calculated dates, but I still haven't gotten pregnant. One day, I saw a news report about immune infertility, and I suspect I might also have immune infertility, but I can't be sure.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in patients with immunological infertility, anti-sperm antibodies can generally be detected in their bodies, and most of these patients also suffer from reproductive tract inflammation. This is because the female reproductive tract and uterine mucosa have immune functions. When the reproductive tract becomes inflamed or damaged, sperm entering the reproductive tract is recognized as foreign bodies, leading to the production of anti-sperm antibodies and causing immunological infertility. Additionally, if a woman has sexual intercourse during her menstrual period, when the reproductive tract is inflamed or damaged, or if the sexual activity duration is too long, leading to mucosal injury, or if women have multiple sexual partners, all of these factors may contribute to immunological infertility.Recommendation: There are many causes of infertility, and each person's condition is unique. It is recommended to visit a formal infertility and subfertility specialty hospital for relevant examinations to identify the specific cause. Scientific and targeted regulation and treatment should then be carried out. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
