Immunologically-mediated infertility

It is still controversial whether female autoimmune disorders can lead to infertility. Based on recent studies, we believe that autoimmune disorders may impair female fertility, even when they are not otherwise treatable.
In cooperation with the transfusion medicine specialist Dr. Reichel-Fentz, we are conducting immunological treatments in conjunction with therapy that appear to be recommended after the diagnosis made by her.

Antibodies against egg cells or sperm

Antibodies against eggs, sperm and other body cells can negatively affect the chance of a pregnancy occurring or not occurring. The variety of possible antibodies prevents a simple general statement about their significance. Overall, however, the so-called immunological sterility seems to rarely have any significant significance.

Hormone diagnostics

Basic diagnostic testing always includes meaningful and comprehensive hormone testing. The cycle day, age, and other parameters are all important factors here.

Sperm diagnostics

The most important examination is the sperm analysis (spermiogram) and, if necessary, the SFI (sperm fragmentation index) test.

Fallopian tube diagnostics

If the partner's spermogram is not affected or only slightly affected, it may be worthwhile to check the patency of the fallopian tubes.

Genetics

Every living organism has a specific set of chromosomes, which is called the karyotype. A karyotype consists of 46 chromosomes – of which there are 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes.
