This disease consists in the fact that male spermatozoa adhere to each other. In this case, they can be stuck together like tails, or neck or head. In general, agglutination is a pathological condition and the best way to determine the presence or absence of this disease is to hold a spermogram. If the man and his genitals are normal, then each sperm must carry a miniature electrical charge - negative - and, thereby, push the others away. With the help of this mechanism the organism independently provides very good "mobility" of spermatozoa.
What is agglutination in itself?
The main manifestation of this disease is that when there is clumping of spermatozoa, they lose their ability to perform the main task - to be very maneuverable for the fertilization of the egg. When carrying out the analysis of the sperm composition, even the smallest deviations towards this ailment are taken into account. If the agglutination of spermatozoa is found in the male seed, this factor is immediately reckoned to the main cause of male infertility. In addition, after the detection of agglutination, an immediate test for antispermal bodies should be made. In general, in medicine, it is considered that infertility is ten percent dependent on immunological factors. In addition, if there was an agglutination in the spermogram, a man is strongly advised to take tests. Perhaps in his ejaculate is an infection. And in fact it can be the reason of sticking sperm.
Why does spermatozoa bind?
The most common cause of this ailment is the development in the body of antispermal bodies that cover the seminal fluid and, thus, immobilize it. The whole cause of agglutination of spermatozoa is in the "hole" of the hematotestick barrier, which prevents the detection of spermatozoa by the immune system. It has long been determined that spermatozoa have half the composition of the chromosomal cell set, which, in turn, is perceived by the immune system as an alien element in the body. If somehow the immune system has access to the sperm of a man, it will immediately lead to the formation of glued spermatozoa by producing antispermal bodies. Another factor in the appearance of this disease is trauma to the genitals, for example, during an unsuccessful surgical illness. There is another type of agglutination of spermatozoa - mixed. This is a rare type of disease and it is very rare.
What is to be done with this disease?
If a man still found this ailment and the processes of inflammation in the genito-urinary organs, it is necessary to take the treatment of agglutination of spermatozoa:
- most likely, the disease was caused by some inflammatory processes. Maybe it's vesicle, orchitis or prostatitis. Nevertheless, in some cases, males are observed to glue spermatozoa without any inflammatory activity.
- in any case, a man affected by this disease, but not having inflammatory processes, will not be able to fertilize a woman naturally. In such cases, additional reproductive technologies are used. These include cleaning sperm from immune bodies and filtering bodies with impaired mobility or pathology.
- if the filtration did not give the desired result, there is a method of intrauterine insemination - through the tube-catheter into the uterine region, the already purified semen is delivered, the concentration of which in the uterus will be much greater than in normal sexual intercourse.
