Infertility is the very common problem now a day. We are all busy today and the stress we bear in our mind and body leads to infertility. Infertility may make you feel unhappy and dejected and it becomes very much difficult to speak about it. This does not mean that you face it alone. It would be better to speak with your partner as well.
However, do you not only stress but also your immune system can lead to infertility. Your immune system has a vital role to play in fertility. The immune system supposed to guard our bodies but at times it can turn against our body. The immune system is designed in such a way so that it can take care of our body. The function of the Lymphatic system is to stop the attack of any foreign bodies such as viruses or bacteria. It possesses multi layer defence system that fights against the invading microbes and foreign intruders. It can easily differentiate between the normal cells and the alien cells. Your immune system can activate an inflammatory response and it can save the memory of foreign body and repel it again when it returns. If the immune system is broken down then it can expose us to infections such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
When we are exposed to such infections then it could also lead to infertility. Researchers have found out that about 20% of the couples may suffer from infertility due to dysfunction of the immune system. There is evidence that the formation of antibodies against the sperm could be a factor for infertility.
In case of men, the immune system of a male could create antibodies for their own sperm. In some cases, the sperm is mistaken for an invading pathogen as they are easily destroyed and it has an effect on fertility. It is seen that in some cases, the anti sperm antibodies can stop the sperm from proper flowing through the woman’s cervical mucus and this could damage the sperm from fusing to the egg of the woman. However, these are very rare and it is very important to note that there are few men who are at the risk of developing antibodies. Such type of problem of infertility could occur in men if they have undergone through any kind of surgery in their genitals.
In case of women, the immune system can lead to infertility also as it has a big role to play in our lives. Most of the woman would not like to suffer from infertility due to the immune system.
