In the field of reproductive medicine, sperm quality is crucial for successful pregnancy. However, some individuals may overlook the quality of male sperm, assuming that infertility issues are primarily related to females. However, this is not the case. Let's understand the importance of sperm fragmentation testing through a case study.

Mr. Liu and his wife visited our fertility center for consultation. His wife had experienced a miscarriage at two months of pregnancy. Initially, Mr. Liu did not think he needed to undergo sperm testing. He even doubted whether the miscarriage was related to the quality of his sperm. However, the doctor's advice prompted him to reconsider.

After semen analysis, the results showed that Mr. Liu's sperm DNA fragmentation rate was as high as 60%, far exceeding the normal value of 25%. This discovery surprised him and made him realize the importance of male sperm quality.

Sperm DNA fragmentation testing is an important process for evaluating sperm quality. A high fragmentation rate may affect the integrity of sperm genetic material and thus affect fertility. Studies have shown that the rate of abnormal sperm DNA fragmentation in male infertility patients is significantly higher than that in normal individuals.

For infertility patients preparing for in vitro fertilization (IVF), testing the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is particularly important. Sperm quality directly affects the success rate of IVF. In the first generation of IVF technology, fully functional sperm are needed for successful fertilization. However, a high fragmentation rate may lead to a decrease in sperm fertilization capacity, thereby affecting the success rate of fertilization.

It is worth noting that even if other indicators of semen are normal, it does not mean that the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is normal. Therefore, testing the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is necessary for male patients with a history of spontaneous abortion, patients with unexplained infertility, and patients preparing for IVF.

In addition to lifestyle habits, the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is also affected by environmental factors. Long-term smoking, drug use, alcohol abuse, exposure to polluted environments, etc., may lead to an increase in sperm DNA fragmentation rate.

Therefore, male friends should also pay attention to reproductive health. If you or your partner are experiencing infertility problems, consider undergoing sperm fragmentation testing to take timely and effective treatment measures to improve the success rate of fertility.
