Patient's question:
Can I get pregnant on the 24th of this month when I ovulate? I have been taking folic acid.Doctor's answer:
Sperm and seminal fluid can produce antibodies against their own sperm in the body, leading to male infertility. Ejected sperm undergo self-aggregation and fail to pass through the cervical mucus. A lack of sexual knowledge between partners, excessive anxiety, or mental stress can also cause infertility. Additionally, semen contains various proteins that serve as antigens, triggering immune responses in the female reproductive tract. This leads to the production of antibodies in the female blood or localized in the reproductive tract, causing agglutination or immobilization of sperm, which adversely affects sperm. This immune response can be reversed after using condoms for a period, allowing antibodies to disappear and enabling pregnancy.
