Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test (DFI)

Identifying the molecular cause of unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriages. Accurate DNA integrity assessment for better pregnancy outcomes.

Understanding Sperm DNA Integrity

A standard semen analysis checks count and movement, but DFI looks deeper into the genetic material. High DNA fragmentation can hinder fertilization and embryo development.

The Genetic BluePrint

The DNA Fragmentation Index

DNA fragmentation refers to the "breaks" or "lesions" in the genetic strands within the sperm. Even if your sperm count is normal, high fragmentation can lead to poor embryo quality and failed IVF cycles.

SCD Method: Using Sperm Chromatin Dispersion for accuracy.
Critical Threshold: Identifying if DFI is above 30%.
Root Cause: Detecting Oxidative Stress or Varicocele impact.

Who Should Get Tested?

Recurrent Miscarriages

Couples facing multiple pregnancy losses without a known cause.

Failed IVF/IUI Cycles

When fertilization fails despite good egg and sperm quality.

Lifestyle Factors

Men with a history of smoking, obesity, or advanced paternal age.

Path to Improvement

Can DFI Be Lowered?

The good news is that high DNA fragmentation is often reversible. By identifying it early, we can recommend targeted antioxidant therapies or lifestyle changes that significantly improve sperm health within 90 days.

Personalized antioxidant protocols.
Advanced sperm selection techniques (MACS/PICSI) for high DFI.
Follow-up testing to monitor improvement.
