A member asked:
I asked on here about developing antibodies to sperm. (see it first) drs. say no such thing, yet a google search says otherwise. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Answer: The body does develop anti-sperm antibodies, particularly after vasectomy and reversing vasectomy. However large studies, Yale,etc., do not support they have any connection to infertility and there is little reason to order such tests.
