Patient's question:
A gynecological examination doctor's instrument scraped the vagina, just a minor abrasion, so it was not discovered at the time, and there was no discomfort. In the second month, during a colposcopy examination, the nurse said there were small abrasions in the vagina, just minor abrasions. Will this affect sexual intercourse? I read that it may produce antibodies, what should I do, I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Antisperm antibodies belong to a type of immunological infertility. Antisperm antibodies are a complex pathological product, affecting both men and women, and their exact causes are not yet fully understood. For women, male sperm and seminal fluid are 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.
