The immune system is designed to protect the body from harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. However, in some cases the immune system may mistakenly attack the body’s own reproductive cells.
This phenomenon can lead to the production of antibodies that target sperm cells. These antibodies may interfere with sperm motility or block their ability to fertilize an egg.
The condition is known as Anti-Sperm Antibody Syndrome. It can develop after injury, infection, or surgery involving the reproductive organs.
Specialized laboratory tests can detect the presence of anti-sperm antibodies. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and may include assisted reproductive erotic technologies.
