Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A positive test for antisperm antibodies indicates that the patient's immune system is producing antibodies against their own sperm. This can lead to infertility, as the antibodies can interfere with sperm function and cause damage to the sperm. Management would involve referral to a fertility specialist for further evaluation and possible treatment options. The other conditions listed are not directly related to the presence of antisperm antibodies.
