Etiology of Antisperm Antibodies in Infertile Men: A Review Article
Journal Title: International Journal of Health & Medical Research - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 06
Abstract
The presence of antisperm antibodies (ASAs) in infertile males is the underlying cause of ‘immune infertility’. The mechanism by which ASAs induce male infertility is not completely comprehended. Immune infertility is caused by the presence of antisperm antibodies (ASAs). While this form of infertility is very uncommon in men, it is crucial from a clinical and theoretical standpoint to comprehend the implications, targets, risk factors, and causes of male reproductive issues induced by ASAs. The main factors contributing to the cause of this condition are well recognized as anomalies in the blood-testis barrier and/or blood-epididymal barrier. Among the various parameters impacted, sperm motility is the most commonly detected. The present study elucidates the fundamental principles of ASAs, as well as their causes and risk factors.
