Patient's question:
Why do I always feel like my semen volume is very little? I am 25 years old and unmarried. I used to have manual stimulation for 5 years. A few days ago, I had manual stimulation, but the semen volume was still quite a lot. However, recently, I haven't had manual stimulation for more than ten days, and last night I found that my semen volume was very little. Please ask the doctor why I always feel like my semen volume is very little?Doctor's answer:
Sperm immune testing consists of three parts: AsAb testing, seminal plasma immune suppressive substance testing, and sperm cellular immune testing. Clinically, AsAb testing is still the most commonly used method. There are many methods for detecting AsAb, but current techniques are limited to detecting immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and a few IgM). There are two main approaches: one is to detect AsAb attached to sperm (direct method), and the other is to detect AsAb in serum, semen, and female reproductive tract secretions (indirect method). The direct method is more reliable, while the results obtained from the indirect method often have lower validity and higher variability.
