In reproductive medicine, the importance of sperm quality for a successful pregnancy is often underestimated. Many wrongly believe that infertility issues primarily stem from women; however, male sperm quality is equally crucial. Through a case study, we can better understand the necessity of sperm DNA fragmentation testing, especially when considering US and Mexico IVF or IVF-PGT.

 

Mr. Zhang and his wife came to our reproductive center seeking help. His wife had been pregnant for two months but unfortunately suffered a miscarriage. Initially, Mr. Zhang didn't realize he needed a sperm test and even questioned if the miscarriage was related to his sperm quality. However, the doctor's advice prompted him to reconsider.

 

After semen analysis, the results showed that Mr. Zhang's sperm DNA fragmentation rate was as high as 55%, far exceeding the normal level of 25%. This result greatly shocked him and also made him realize that the quality of male sperm should not be overlooked.

 

Sperm DNA fragmentation testing is a vital part of assessing sperm quality. A high fragmentation rate can compromise the integrity of sperm's genetic material, thereby affecting fertility. Studies show that the proportion of infertile male patients with abnormal sperm DNA fragmentation rates is significantly higher than in the general population. This means that even if other semen parameters are normal, it doesn't necessarily mean the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is normal.

 

For male patients preparing for IVF technology, testing the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is particularly important. Sperm quality directly impacts the success rate of IVF. In traditional IVF techniques, functionally normal sperm are essential for effective fertilization. A high fragmentation rate can reduce sperm's fertilization capability, consequently affecting fertilization success and even leading to poor embryo development or early miscarriage.

 

Therefore, men who have experienced recurrent miscarriages, patients with unexplained infertility, and men planning to undergo IVF should all prioritize sperm DNA fragmentation testing. This helps doctors more comprehensively assess male fertility potential and formulate more precise treatment plans, such as selecting healthier sperm for ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) in IVF-PGT.
