Is it difficult to treat female anti-sperm antibodies?

It is usually difficult for women to get pregnant if they have anti-sperm antibodies. Under normal circumstances, pregnancy requires the combination of egg and sperm before pregnancy. Anti-sperm antibodies kill sperm before entering the uterus, so it is not easy to get pregnant. Anti-sperm antibodies are actually a virus and need to be actively treated, but you must go to a professional and regular hospital for treatment. Is it difficult to treat female anti-sperm antibodies?

Are female anti-sperm antibodies difficult to treat?

When women are examined for immune infertility, they are found to have anti-sperm antibodies (+). This is a type of immune infertility and is not difficult to treat clinically. In daily life, you need to wear a condom every time you have sex for 2 to 3 months. Then, most of the anti-sperm antibodies will turn negative on their own after rechecking. If they still do not disappear, you can clinically treat it with a small dose of dexamethasone orally for ten days to half a month, and then have a blood test. You need to stop the medication for 3 months before you can get pregnant.

Why do women develop anti-sperm antibodies?

The production of antisperm antibodies in women is related to that in men, because normal male semen contains prostaglandin E and a glycoprotein, which have immunosuppressive effects, and semen precipitin has anti-complement activity. If the husband's semen lacks immunosuppressive factors, the woman may produce anti-sperm antibodies. Another reason is that reproductive tract infection of both husband and wife can easily lead to the production of anti-sperm antibodies in the woman, which may be caused by the infection enhancing the local nonspecific immune response. Clinical studies have shown that an increase in white blood cells in the male's semen is significantly correlated with the occurrence of antisperm antibodies in the female's reproductive tract and serum.

The treatment options for female anti-sperm antibodies include:

The Western medical treatment method is to use condoms to separate sperm from the female, so that no new anti-sperm antibodies will be produced and the original antibodies will gradually disappear. This process is relatively long and will take at least half a year. In addition, oral small doses of corticosteroids can be used to suppress immune responses, such as strong

Drugs such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, etc. must be taken continuously for at least 3 months.

The commonly used treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine for immune infertility include nourishing yin and tonifying the kidney, clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, promoting dampness and clearing turbidity, and strengthening the spleen and removing phlegm. This method is relatively safe and does not have serious side effects like hormone therapy.
