DNA Fragmentation Test for Men

DNA fragmentation testing helps evaluate the quality of sperm DNA, especially in cases of recurrent IVF failure, unexplained infertility or advanced paternal age.

What Is Sperm DNA Fragmentation?

Sperm DNA fragmentation refers to DNA damage within the genetic material of the sperm cell. Even if sperm count, movement, or shape seem normal, high DNA fragmentation can lower fertilization ability. It can also affect embryo quality and reduce the chances of a healthy pregnancy.

This test provides a deeper, more accurate evaluation of male fertility beyond a standard semen analysis.

Early detection and proper evaluation of sperm DNA quality can significantly improve IVF success rates and reproductive outcomes.

Understanding the DNA Fragmentation Test

Why Is DNA Fragmentation Important?

High DNA fragmentation levels can affect:

  • Fertilization success

  • Embryo quality

  • Blastocyst development

  • Implantation

  • Pregnancy rates

  • Risk of early miscarriage

For many couples, identifying DNA fragmentation is the missing piece of the fertility puzzle.

Who should consider a DNA fragmentation test?

This test is recommended for:

  • Couples experiencing recurrent IVF or ICSI failure

  • Men with normal spermiogram results but ongoing infertility

  • Unexplained infertility cases

  • Men over 40 years of age

  • Patients exposed to smoking, stress, environmental toxins, varicocele or chronic illnesses

  • Couples with recurrent miscarriage

  • Individuals with poor embryo development during IVF cycles
