Sperm DNA Fragmentation Testing
What is Sperm DNA Fragmentation Testing?
Sperm DNA Fragmentation testing is an advanced diagnostic test that measures the percentage of sperm in a sample that have damaged or fragmented DNA. It provides crucial information beyond a standard semen analysis, identifying a potential cause of infertility that would otherwise go unseen.
Our DNA Fragmentation Testing Process Includes:
- Comprehensive Consultation : Discussing reasons for testing, such as unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or poor embryo development in previous IVF cycles.
- Semen Sample Collection: Done at our clinic.
- Advanced Laboratory Analysis: Our advanced andrology lab uses specialized techniques (like SCD or TUNEL assays) to accurately measure the level of DNA damage in the sperm.
- Detailed Results & Interpretation: We explain your results and what they mean for your fertility journey. A high DFI result guides us toward specific treatments to overcome it.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the results, we may recommend lifestyle changes, antioxidants, specific sperm selection techniques for ICSI (like MACS), or surgical varicocele repair.
Common Questions, About DNA Fragmentation Testing
Q: Who should get a DNA fragmentation test?
A: It is recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, failed IVF/ICSI cycles, poor embryo quality, or for men with varicoceles, advanced age, or lifestyle risk factors (smoking, heat exposure).
Q: Can a high DFI be treated? A: Yes. Strategies include lifestyle changes (quitting smoking, cooling the testicles), antioxidant supplements, treating varicoceles, and using advanced sperm preparation techniques like MACS to select sperm with intact DNA for ICSI.
Q: If I have a normal semen analysis, do I need a DNA fragmentation test? A: Yes, it is possible to have a normal semen analysis but a high DFI. The two tests provide different but equally important information.
