For infertile couples, it is advisable to check for serum anti sperm antibodies, as if these antibodies are not negative, they can affect fertilization and lead to infertility. So, what is an anti sperm antibody? How to treat weak positive serum anti sperm antibodies? Next, we will answer this question for everyone.
1. What is anti sperm antibody
Anti sperm antibodies (AsAb) are a complex pathological product that can affect both men and women, and their exact causes are not yet fully understood. Male sperm and seminal plasma are specific antigens for females. When exposed to blood, both males and females can trigger an immune response, producing corresponding antibodies that hinder the binding of sperm and egg, leading to infertility.
2. Anti sperm antibody treatment methods
Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment. It is most common for people to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment after falling ill, which can also have a good effect on treating weak positive anti sperm antibodies. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively achieve the effects of nourishing yin, clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation, dispelling dampness, and strengthening the spleen. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly relies on oral administration and does not have any side effects on the body.
Use condoms. Condom isolation therapy is also widely promoted. By wearing condoms, the female reproductive tract is free from contact with antigenic substances, thereby avoiding the production of new antibodies. Although this treatment method takes a long time, about six months or more, after a period of time, if the weak positive anti sperm antibody disappears, normal pregnancy can be achieved.
Inhibition therapy. Through scientific methods of diagnosis and treatment, hormones are used to suppress the immune response in the body, causing the coefficient of anti sperm antibodies to gradually decrease. When using this method, it is necessary to follow the guidance of a physician. Excessive or insufficient use of hormones is not beneficial to the body. In addition, patients can also consider the method of intrauterine assisted pregnancy, which involves separating sperm outside the body and extracting high-quality sperm for conception.
In summary, if the serum anti sperm antibody is weakly positive, it will hinder the formation of fertilized eggs, leading to infertility. When weak positive serum anti sperm antibodies occur, it is recommended to use the treatment methods described above to solve the problem of weak positive serum anti sperm antibodies, thereby improving the fertility rate.
