An increasing number of couples worldwidehave difficulty conceiving a child. It is not always associated with the peculiarities of reproductive function in women or incompatible partners. Unfortunately, over the last 20-30 years is the problem of reproductive health of half of mankind rose significantly. As a result of poor lifestyle, trauma and diseases, even psychological experiences there are serious violations of male fertility.

Among the most easily treatable form of infertilitymen can be called a varicocele, endocrine disorders, and various inflammatory processes. The most difficult to treat autoimmune infertility doctors believe. The disorder is characterized by the formation of antibodies in the ejaculate, which adversely affect the sperm (their mobility, ability to fertilize) and inevitably weaken the childbearing ability.

The cause of sperm antibodies (ACAT)injuries are typically scrotum and testicles, which lead to rupture of the capillaries, and the seminiferous tubules, as well as infectious diseases. Even if only one of the affected testicular ACAT often disrupt the normal operation of both testes. Sperm motility, coated with antibodies to lose the opportunity to interact with the cervical mucus, and not able to get into the egg, making it impossible even in vitro fertilization (except ICSI).
