Immunological Infertility

Immunological infertility occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly targets sperm or embryos as foreign invaders, leading to difficulties in conception. This can involve the production of antibodies that attack sperm, harming their ability to reach and fertilize an egg. It can also affect embryo implantation in the uterus. Factors contributing to this condition may include previous infections, injuries, or conditions that prompt the immune response. Addressing immunological infertility often involves medical interventions to modulate the immune response and improve the chances of successful conception.
