Hello,
Agglutination of sperm occurs when the head or tail of one sperm sticks to another sperm restricting the motility of the sperm. Various techniques are used to remove unattached antibody from the seminal fluid, such as ejaculation into medium-containing protein and multiple sperm washes. Do talk to an infertility specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
