Weakly positive for anti sperm antibodies. Generally speaking, it can occur regardless of gender. Due to the presence of weakly positive anti sperm antibodies in the human body, it will inevitably interfere with sperm quality, weaken male sperm motility, and subsequently reduce sperm count, thereby affecting conception. Can a weak positive anti sperm antibody result in conception?
A weak positive result for anti sperm antibodies is highly likely to affect the fertility of couples.
Someone once conducted an experiment, in which when this serum and seminal plasma with weakly positive anti sperm antibodies were mixed with normal sperm, the sperm would undergo head to head, tail to tail, or mixed agglutination phenomena. Alternatively, in the presence of complement, this serum and seminal plasma could cause swimming sperm to stop moving or tremble in place. The higher the titer of weakly positive anti sperm antibodies, the more severe the phenomenon of sperm agglutination and cessation of movement.
So we can imagine how sperm can overcome numerous obstacles and meet the egg when they aggregate into a cluster or stop moving forward? In addition, some people have low titers of weakly positive anti sperm antibodies, so on the surface, the sperm agglutination phenomenon is not severe and the sperm activity rate is not low. However, in reality, a layer of anti sperm antibodies has already wrapped around the surface of the sperm, which hinders the binding of sperm and egg, leading to infertility!
The above experiment can prove that weak positive anti sperm antibodies can affect couples' ability to have a baby, and in severe cases, it can lead to infertility!
Many people consider in vitro fertilization (IVF) because their anti sperm antibodies are weakly positive, which seriously affects fertility. But in vitro fertilization, it is also necessary to exclude anti sperm antibodies, otherwise it will still reduce the success rate and lead to the inability to conceive.
