What Is DNA Fragmentation Index Text Of Sperm

DNA Fragmentation Index Of Sperm

DNA is the genetic material that is double-stranded sugar and phosphate structure. The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four types of molecules called bases, which are attached to the DNA strands like rungs on a ladder.

Sperm DNA fragmentation is associated with infections, cigarette smoking, drug use, exposure to environmental and occupational pollutants, advanced age, varicocele (enlarged veins inside the scrotum), illnesses with high fevers, elevated testicular temperature (laptop computers, hot tubs), chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cancer treatment, poor diet, and obesity.

Studies reveal that DNA fragmentation is increased in males with infertility despite having normal semen analysis results. These associations have led to the testing of DNA integrity as another method of assessing fertility potential.

The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) reflects the integrity and the damage to the DNA, the genetic material of the sperm, thereby detecting potential sperm damage. It is considered a crucial indicator in evaluating Sperm quality
