Fertility Challenges

A sperm antibody is typically a protein in the body of a woman that attacks the sperm that enters her body. Though the sperm antibodies that most of us do hear of are in the woman's body, there are also men who suffer from essentially the same thing, they have proteins in their semen that attack their own sperm.

A hysterosonography is a new and innovative technique that helps doctors see inside the uterus in a new and accurate way. A hysterosonography actually involves a slow infusion of sterile saline into the uterus during an ultrasound. Infusing the uterus with the sterile saline allows doctors to see and really evaluate abnormal growths within the uterus, abnormal tissues lining the uterus, and also to keep tabs on disorders affecting deeper tissue layers. Sometimes an ordinary ultrasound just isn't good enough, so a doctor will use a hysterosonography because it's non-invasive but can give doctors the images and information they would normally get with surgery or other invasive procedures.
