[The treatment of sperm antibodies with corticosteroids]

Seven women whose infertility was thought to be due to sperm antibodies alone were treated with either high or low doses of corticosteroids. During the treatment period the significance of the sperm-cervical mucus contact test was evaluated as a monitor for sperm antibodies. Five women became pregnant after steroid therapy and it was considered to be an effective method of treating infertility due to sperm antibodies since none of the patients complained or suffered from any side-effects.
