Hello everyone, I am Dr. Zeng Hongbo of Liu Xiangyuan's fetal protection team. Immune infertility is due to the infertility caused by the immune factors of both husband and wife, so what are the symptoms of immune infertility? Here's a good idea of science.
Symptoms of immune infertility
What is immune infertility?
Immune infertility is due to the couple's body immune factors leading to infertility, generally the female own immune system is abnormal, thereby affecting the combination of sperm and egg, or directly affecting sperm entry, resulting in natural pregnancy.
Immune infertility usually has the following types:
1, anti-sperm antibodies: anti-sperm antibodies are a common cause of immune infertility, female genital tract inflammation increases local exudation, immune cells enter the reproductive tract, reproductive tract local and serum anti-sperm antibodies appear, anti-sperm antibodies will affect sperm motility, prevent sperm and egg from binding.
2. Anti-endometrial antibody: If there are a large number of immune cells in the endometrium, under normal circumstances, these cells are conducive to embryo implantation, but when the immune cells are abnormal, it will lead to embryo implantation failure.
3. Anti-egg antibody: If some of a woman's secretions overflow the reproductive tract, triggering autoimmunity, it will affect egg growth, resulting in infertility.
What are the symptoms of immune infertility?
Immune infertility generally does not have obvious symptoms, and there is no problem with the fallopian tubes, uterine ovaries and other aspects of the examination, but it is not affected by pregnancy.
At this time, serum immune tests, anti-sperm antibody tests, etc. are required to determine whether there are immune factors affecting conception.
How is immunoinfertility treated?
The first is blocking therapy
This method is to use condoms after 3-6 months to make sperm antigen antibodies disappear, so that you can choose the next day, the intercourse method to improve the conception rate, many women can conceive through this method.
The second method is in vitro fertilization
If there is a high density of anti-sperm antibodies in the woman's body, then the woman can only choose in vitro fertilization for conception, and the conception rate of this treatment method is still relatively high.
The third method is intrauterine insemination
When there are many anti-sperm antibodies in the female uterine mucus, the man's semen can be processed in vitro by this method, and high-quality sperm can be artificially inseminated.
The fourth method is immunosuppressive therapy
The main method is to use adrenocortical hormones, which often bring some side effects to the body.
Summary: Immune infertility is not a significant symptom and can only be detected by doing immune tests. Immune infertility can be treated, and it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find the cause and symptomatic treatment to help get pregnant with a healthy baby as soon as possible.
