DNA Fragmentation test

DNA fragmentation test is performed to determine structural damages of spermatozoid DNA that could delay implantation of embryo, increase risk of miscarriage, as well as facilitate hereditary pathologies for the progeny.

DNA fragmentation test is used to evaluate the probability of spontaneous pregnancy and In vitro fertilization.

Standard if spermatozoids with DNA fragmentation are <30%:

• 15 - 30% good fertility potential
• <15% very high fertility potential

You can reduce DNA fragmentation by changing lifestyle, eating habits, quitting smoking and in separate cases also consuming more antioxidants.

All spermogram markers should be analyzed in total, considering also the age and general health condition of the patient. Doctor-urologist can provide interpretation of the spermogram data.
