What is Sperm DNA Fragmentation?

This test measures the amount of damaged DNA within sperm cells. High levels of DNA fragmentation can indicate poor sperm quality, which may affect a man's ability to conceive naturally or through assisted reproductive technologies.

Why is this test important?

It is crucial for evaluating male infertility, especially in cases of unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, or failed IVF cycles. The results can help guide treatment decisions and improve outcomes for couples struggling to conceive.

How to Prepare

Abstinence from ejaculation for 2-5 days is typically required before sample collection. Please follow specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
