Patient's question:
I am type O blood, and my husband is type B blood. Will this affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hemolytic disease due to ABO blood group incompatibility often occurs when the mother's blood type is O and the father's blood type is A, B, or AB, which may lead to hemolysis, known as ABO hemolytic disease. However, not all babies will develop the condition. Some may not be affected, while others may have mild or severe symptoms.Advice: This is related to the amount of antibodies in the mother, the degree of binding between antibodies and fetal red blood cells, the strength of the A or B antigens, and the fetal compensatory hematopoietic ability. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. If the father is type O, this phenomenon does not occur.
