Anti-Sperm Antibodies and Infertility

We can now move to the discussion of “Category 4 of Repro-immunologic Disorder- the Antibodies

to Sperm or Anti-sperm antibodies. Some women produce antibodies that attack sperm,

an autoimmune response to sperm antigens. These antibodies can prevent sperm from moving or fertilizing

the egg. As a result, conception becomes difficult or impossible. Early testing can

identify this condition, and specialized treatments can help improve fertility. If you struggle

with infertility, consult your Reproductive Immunologist.”
