Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I want to ask how to check for antisperm antibodies? I don't have any other symptoms, is it possible that I have antisperm antibodies? I want to get tested.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the anti-sperm antibody test is an immunological examination that requires a blood draw. Both partners can undergo the test, and no special conditions are needed. Anti-sperm antibodies are complex pathological products that can affect both men and women, and their exact causes are not yet fully understood. In women, sperm and seminal fluid are considered specific antigens. Upon contact with the bloodstream, they can trigger immune reactions in both men and women, leading to the production of corresponding antibodies that hinder the combination of sperm and eggs, resulting in infertility.
