Sperm antibodies are immune factors that react against sperm causing them to lose motility or to occasionally prevent sperm from penetrating the egg.  Normally, our immune system produces antibodies to fight off infection or cancer.  However, nearly all men form antibodies against their sperm after a vasectomy.  Fortunately, these sperm antibodies will usually disappear after a successful vasectomy reversal.  When they persist, motility and egg penetration by the sperm can be improved by treatment with medication or the use of sperm processing in the laboratory in association with artificial insemination of the wife.  This is one of the many reasons to have your vasectomy reversal performed by a doctor who has “in depth” knowledge of the complete field of male infertility.  Find out more at www.vasectomyreversal.com .
