The place of sperm DNA fragmentation testing in current day fertility management

In this debate article, I am going to set out the case that sperm DNA fragmentation testing is essential in current day fertility management because- <br/>• Our current semen analysis testing is unfit for purpose<br/>• Sperm DNA damage testing has strong associations with every fertility check point <br/>• Sperm DNA damage testing has strong associations with miscarriage<br/>• Sperm DNA testing can explain ‘unexplained’ infertility<br/>• There are reasons why sperm with poor DNA are successful in ICSI<br/>• There are no non-invasive sperm function tests that provide the same information<br/>• We need to take a fresh look at the ‘evidence’ against sperm DNA testing<br/>• We have no reason to wait. There are benefits for clinics and couples alike.<br/>
