Woman's Infertility Caused by Rare Allergy to Semen
A woman in Lithuania couldn't get pregnant for four years.
Doctors found out she was allergic to her husband's sperm!
Her body saw the sperm as a bad guy and fought it.
This made it hard for her to get pregnant.
She had symptoms like a runny nose and itchy eyes after sex.
Doctors confirmed she has a rare allergy called SPH.
She also has other allergies, like to cats and dust.
A 29-year-old Lithuanian woman was diagnosed with an allergy to her husband's semen.
The allergy, Seminal Plasma Hypersensitivity (SPH), caused her body to treat sperm proteins as harmful.
The woman experienced symptoms like sneezing, burning eyes, and genital discomfort after unprotected sex.
The diagnosis explained her four-year struggle with infertility despite multiple attempts at conception.
The woman also had other allergies, including asthma, dust, cat fur, mould, mites, pollen grains, insects, and dogs.
