What does sperm fragmentation test check?

New research shows that the average probability of infertility among married couples is 10%-15%, and it is now showing an increasing trend every year. With the continuous development of modern science and technology, the air pollution in our daily lives has become increasingly serious, and the pressure of life has continued to increase. As a result, the number of male infertility patients has increased. Many studies have shown that male sperm with damaged DNA can cause symptoms such as unsuccessful fertilization, incomplete embryo development in test tubes, and birth defects.

Research by authoritative experts from all over the world has shown that most male infertility patients have significantly increased sperm DNA fragments. The sperm DNA pan-amic test is to check the quality of sperm. The sperm DNA pan-amic level is widely considered to be a new indicator for evaluating the quality of male semen and predicting male fertility. The new items tested include the total number of sperm, the relative density of sperm and the charm of sperm. Therefore, testing the detailed DNA level of sperm is of great value in evaluating the quality of sperm in infertility patients.

For the results of sperm DNA consistency test, it is generally considered normal if it is less than 15%, 15%-30% is normal, and if it exceeds 30%, the consistency is weak. Once the test finds that the male sperm DNA is damaged, it will cause male infertility, reduce the natural pregnancy rate, reduce the success rate of in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination, and increase the incidence of miscarriage. There are many reasons for this. The first is the symptom factor. Men suffering from varicose veins, orchitis, epididymitis, high fever and sexual organ tumors will cause male sperm DNA damage. Secondly, some growth hormones and radioactive chemotherapy drugs can also cause male sperm DNA damage. Then, there are some unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, taking drugs, and excessive fatigue. Finally, there is environmental pollution in the living environment, such as fertilizers, excessive heavy metals, high temperatures, paints, radiation sources, computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

If you find that your sperm DNA is damaged, you should first go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to find out what caused it. First, you should immediately correct these unhealthy lifestyles, and then supplement vitamins and cooperate with relevant medications to reduce your sperm DNA fragmentation index. Finally, you should adjust your diet and eat more wolfberries, dates, lean pork and animal liver.
