IVIG Therapy (Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy)
At Radha Hospital & Fertility Center, we provide advanced fertility and pregnancy care, including IVIG Therapy, for couples facing immune-related fertility challenges or recurrent pregnancy losses. This treatment is designed to balance the immune system and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
What is IVIG Therapy?
IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin) Therapy is a treatment in which specially prepared antibodies (immunoglobulins) from healthy donors are given to patients through an intravenous (IV) infusion. These antibodies help regulate the immune system, reducing harmful immune reactions that may interfere with conception or pregnancy.
Why is IVIG Therapy Used in Reproductive Medicine?
Sometimes, a woman’s immune system may mistakenly attack sperm, embryos, or even the placenta, considering them as “foreign.” This can lead to infertility, failed IVF attempts, or repeated miscarriages.
IVIG Therapy helps by:
Controlling overactive immune cells (like Natural Killer cells).
Preventing the immune system from attacking the embryo.
Improving implantation rates in IVF or ICSI treatments.
Reducing the risk of recurrent pregnancy loss.
When is IVIG Therapy Recommended?
Doctors may suggest IVIG therapy in the following situations:
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (two or more miscarriages).
Repeated IVF/ICSI failures despite good embryos.
High NK cell activity or abnormal immune test results.
Autoimmune disorders (like lupus, antiphospholipid syndrome, thyroid autoimmunity) affecting pregnancy.
Unexplained infertility when no other cause is found.
How is IVIG Therapy Given?
IVIG is administered through a drip into the vein (IV infusion).
The session may last 3–5 hours, depending on the dose.
It is usually given before embryo transfer in IVF or during early pregnancy.
The number of sessions depends on the patient’s condition and doctor’s advice.
