The abnormal immune system adversely affects women's ability to conceive and also increases the risk of miscarriage. Around four million women worldwide suffer from preeclampsia (it is a disease) in which the blood pressure rises to a fatal level. Around eight crore women have endometriosis that affects the pregnancy stage.
Autoimmune means the immune system becomes more active and starts attacking healthy tissue. About 75% of the cases of this disease are seen in women. The condition is most common during delivery. Many studies link reproduction to endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian aging (POA), idiopathic infertility with autoimmune diseases.
The immune system attacks the internal organs, tissues, and organs of the body; it can also attack the sperm and fetus, which causes difficulty in conception and pregnancy. Besides, the shape of a woman suffering from autoimmune diseases causes her to attack her ovaries and also causes POA or PCOS.
In such a situation, the body starts attacking its tissue. This adversely affects the ability of pregnancy.
