Reproductive Immunology

Repeated pregnancy losses and failures to implant following IVF transfers of excellent grade embryos without apparent reason are challenging problems in reproductive medicine. We understand the emotional toll a failing IVF cycle or an early miscarriage can have on any couple or marriage. Our collaborate clinics and specialists are experienced in giving a higher probability of success by understanding the immune system and administering tailored immunity therapies without setting unreasonable expectations for our patients. Reproductive immunology is an integrated term between the immune system and the components of the reproductive system. The immune system attacks any potentially harmful foreign substances that it cannot detect due to their genetic differences from the host. Although the embryo’s genetic coding differs from the mother’s, a specific immune response is triggered to allow for the embryo’s initial implantation and future pregnancy development.

In certain women, the immune system may become hyperactive, rejecting the embryo or interfering with pregnancy hormones. This inflammatory immune reaction can result in infertility, miscarriage, or complications later in pregnancy. The complicated processes involved in the immune system’s response to conception have recently sparked a lot of attention in the medical community. However, there is no information to give a definitive response on the utility of immune testing or whether the immunological therapies available significantly enhance the outcomes or not. There is a lot of disputes in the scientific world concerning the function of the immune system in encouraging or inhibiting a healthy pregnancy. Therefore, this field of Reproductive Medicine is still contentious.
