Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zeng of Liu Xiangyuan's fetal protection team. Many infertile couples want to have an immune infertility test, but they don't know when to do it. Here's a look at immune infertility testing.
When to check for immune infertility
When is immune infertility tested?
If you want to do an immune infertility test, you usually have a detailed examination before pregnancy, and both husband and wife need to be examined, and you can go to the hospital at any time to draw blood for testing. On the day of the examination, it is best to go on an empty stomach, you can go to the reproductive department, if there is no reproductive department, you can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for examination.
Immune infertility may be caused by the autoimmune system or alloimmune immunity of reproductive antigens, and the incidence of immune infertility is high. Patients often have symptoms of bloating and dysmenorrhea, and may also have symptoms such as irregular menstrual resistance and easy illness, which long affect women's pregnancy and fertility problems.
Through the immune infertility test, it is possible to determine the immune factors that affect a woman's fertility. If the test results are positive for blocking antibodies, positive for anti-endometrial antibodies, positive for anti-ovarian antibodies, etc., it is necessary to pay attention to these factors, because these factors will affect the normal pregnancy of women. If immune infertility is diagnosed, it is necessary to listen to the doctor's advice according to the situation and actively receive treatment.
Patients with immunoinfertility can be conditioned by immunosuppression and by hormonal drugs. Only by normalizing immune infertility can a normal pregnancy be achieved.
