SPERM CHROMATIN STRUCTURE ASSAY

Amongst infertile couples, 20% is contributed by male factors alone. Continuous decline in male fertility over time, which cannot be attributed to any specific cause, results in idiopathic infertility. “Various factors underlying male infertility include varicocele, oxidative stress, genetic abnormalities, systemic disease and infections, altered lifestyle, and exposure to xenobiotics. All these factors can influence sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), which acts as potential mediator for establishing an infertility status in men.”

“In general, semen volume, pH, sperm concentration, motility, vitality, and morphology are determined according to the WHO 2010 guidelines. Even though basic semen analysis is considered as the key investigation in all Andrology laboratories worldwide, it cannot accurately differentiate fertile from infertile men. Nearly 15% of infertile men have normal sperm parameters according to the WHO 2010”

WHICH PATIENTS ARE SUITABLE FOR SPERM DNA FRAGMENTATION TESTING?

  • Infertile patients with normal sperm parameter
  •  Unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Clinical varicocele
  • Prior to ART
  • Exposed to lifestyle risk factors and environmental toxicants

REASON FOR SCSA

  • Reveal the cause behind male infertility
  • Find the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Assess sperm quality in a holistic approach. [*]
