Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zeng Hongbo of Liu Xiangyuan's fetal protection team. Immune infertility, as the name suggests, is the inability to conceive due to problems with the immune system. So is there a cure for immune infertility?
How immune infertility is treated
What causes immune infertility?
1. Alloimmunity:
Factors that contribute to immune infertility are manifested in the production of antibodies in the woman's body that agglutinate sperm or inactivate sperm. Women do not develop an immune response, and only about 15%-18% of infertile women have anti-sperm antibodies in their bodies.
2. Autoimmunity:
Seminal plasma or female eggs, hormones, etc. overflow into the genital tract into their own surrounding tissues, causing their own body's immune response, producing corresponding antibody substances in the body, affecting the vitality of sperm or follicle maturation and ovulation.
3. Local immunity:
The cervical mucosa and endometrium contain lymphoid cells that produce immunoglobulins g and a, so the cervix and female reproductive tract have a local immune effect on sperm.
How is immune infertility treated?
Immune infertility is the inability to conceive due to problems with the immune system. For example, positive anti-sperm antibodies and positive anti-ovarian antibodies may be caused. Both men and women can develop the disease.
After the diagnosis, it is necessary to correctly use hormonal drugs for anti-immune treatment, and use condom measures for contraception for half a year to reduce contact with sperm and promote the disappearance of sperm antibodies in the body.
Under the guidance of a doctor, the medication is treated for half a year after the re-examination, if there is a significant improvement. Then prepare for pregnancy according to the situation to improve the chances of success of pregnancy.
Can fetal arrest be treated?
Fetal arrest is treatable. Fetal abortation refers to the death of an embryo at a stage of development and the cessation of continued development. After the fetal stop is found, the pregnancy must be actively terminated, and the cause should be determined by vaginal secretion detection, colposcopy, etc., and then symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of the doctor.
It is recommended that during pregnancy, pregnant mothers must keep a comfortable mood, not overly nervous, and at the same time strengthen nutritional supplementation to maintain nutritional balance in the body. In daily life, we should develop good habits of work and rest and cultivate our own bodies well.
