Immunology

Immunologically induced infertility

It is still controversial whether female autoimmune disorders can lead to infertility. Based on recent studies, we believe that autoimmune disorders may possibly affect female fertility, even when they are otherwise not in need of treatment.

In cooperation with the transfusion physician Dr. Reichel-Fentz, we perform immunological treatments that appear to be advisable after her diagnosis.

Antibodies against oocytes or sperm cells

Antibodies against oocytes, sperm and other body cells can negatively influence the chance of pregnancy. The variety of possible antibodies prevents a simple general statement on their significance. Generally, however, the so-called immunological infertility seems to be of rather rare occurrence.

Hormone diagnostics

Basic diagnostics always includes meaningful and comprehensive hormone diagnostics.

Sperm diagnostics

Even a simple physical examination, consisting of observing the secondary sexual characteristics and palpation of the testicles can give the examiner initial suspicions about the cause of sterility.

Fallopian tube diagnostics

If the partner's spermiogram is not or only slightly restricted, it may be useful to check the patency of the fallopian tubes.

Genetics

Every living organism has a specific set of chromosomes called a karyotype. A karyotype consists of 46 chromosomes – 22 autosomal pairs and one sex chromosomal pair.
