Antisperm antibodies are immune cells that attack a person’s own or a partner’s sperm. When they are present, sperm may clump together (agglutinate) and lose their ability to swim and fertilise an egg, which is one immune factor that could be involved in infertility. This page explains how antisperm antibodies arise, how they are tested for and treated conventionally, and how Welling Homeopathy approaches them.

Antisperm antibodies at a glance
- What they are: antibodies that bind to sperm and interfere with their movement and ability to fertilise an egg.
- Main sign: sperm clumping or reduced motility on semen analysis, or unexplained difficulty in conceiving.
- Common causes: testicular injury or surgery, infection, vasectomy or its reversal, and blockage of the sperm passage.
- Key tests: semen analysis, and an antisperm antibody test (MAR or immunobead test).
- Our approach: Homeopathy Assisted Reproduction Therapy, a steroid-free and hormone-free protocol.
What is antisperm antibodies?
Normally the immune system does not attack sperm, because they are kept apart from the blood by a barrier in the testes. If this barrier is broken, for example by injury, infection or surgery, the immune system can see sperm as foreign cells and make antibodies against them. These antibodies can make sperm stick together and swim poorly. Though still to be proven, there is evidence that antibodies against sperm can result in male infertility.
Antisperm antibodies are one of several possible factors, and they are found through specific laboratory tests, usually after a semen analysis shows clumping or poor motility.
Symptoms of antisperm antibodies
Common symptoms include:
- Usually no symptoms
- Difficulty in conceiving, often unexplained
- Sperm clumping (agglutination) on semen analysis
- Reduced sperm motility
- A history of testicular injury, infection or surgery
- A history of vasectomy or reversal
- Pain or swelling in the testicle area, in some men
- A normal sperm count with poor fertilising ability
Causes and risk factors of antisperm antibodies
Common causes and risk factors include:
- Injury or surgery to the testes or groin
- Infection or inflammation of the testes, epididymis or prostate
- Vasectomy and its reversal
- Blockage of the sperm passage
- Varicocele
- Undescended testis

How antisperm antibodies is diagnosed
Antisperm antibodies are diagnosed through:
- Semen analysis showing clumping or poor motility
- Antisperm antibody test on semen (MAR test or immunobead test)
- Examination of the testes
- Tests for infection and inflammation
- Assessment of the partner’s fertility
Warning signs: when to get urgent help
Please see a doctor promptly if there is:

- Fever with testicular pain or swelling
- Trying to conceive for 12 months (or six months if the woman is over 30)

Conventional treatment options
Conventionally, a variety of treatments are used to help couples with antisperm antibodies to conceive:
- Corticosteroids, which suppress the immune response but can have side effects
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with washed sperm
- In-vitro fertilization (IVF) and ICSI
- Treatment of infection and varicocele, where present
