What are endometrial antibodies

Do you know about endometrial antibodies? I believe that few people know about it, and they don’t know the reason for its appearance. The main cause of endometrial antibodies is some inflammation of the uterus, the most common of which is endometritis. If a woman’s endometrium is inflamed, then there is a high probability that it will turn into corresponding antibodies. Let us take a detailed look at it below.

Clinical significance

During the curettage of artificial abortion, the embryonic sac may also act as an antigen to stimulate the body to produce antibodies. It can lead to infertility, pregnancy termination or miscarriage. Many women suffer from secondary infertility due to artificial abortion during their first pregnancy. Most of these secondary infertility patients are caused by the production of anti-endometrial antibodies in the body. Positive: endometriosis (positive rate: 60%-82%), women with unexplained infertility or habitual miscarriage (positive rate: 30%-40%). Clinical studies have shown that ectopic endometrium is antigenic and can induce the body to produce anti-endometrial antibodies. When antigen and antibody combine, they can be deposited in the endometrium and ectopic lesions, destroying the endometrial structure by activating complement.

Infertility caused by positive anti-endometrial antibodies is immune infertility.

reason

The cause of positive anti-endometrial antibodies: First, endometriosis. Second: inflammation, such as endometritis.

prevention

1. Eliminate sexual promiscuity and unclean sexual life: Only by persisting in treatment for a certain period of time can the effect be apparent. Immune infertility caused by antisperm antibodies is reversible. If you seek medical treatment early and persist in treatment, the antisperm antibodies in the body will gradually disappear.

2. Avoid chlamydia infection: The female reproductive tract is a vulnerable area to infection. If not treated in time at the beginning, it will seriously affect the occurrence of endometritis and lead to infertility.

3. Avoid excessive sexual intercourse: Excessive sexual intercourse is an important cause of immune infertility. How to prevent immune infertility? Sperm and semen contain a variety of proteins. Frequent and repeated contact with the husband's sperm and semen, after the opposite sex protein is absorbed by the female reproductive tract as an antigen, stimulates the body to produce anti-sperm antibodies.

The presence of endometrial antibodies has many effects on women, and usually exists at the same time as endometriosis. Everyone should understand its causes, especially pay attention to sexual life, pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life, and avoid frequent sexual life.
