Do you know?

If you and your partner are having trouble conceiving, and his conventional sperm parameters — sperm count, motility (speed) and morphology (shape) — are normal, the problem could still be because of sperm. Talk to your us about screening the sperm for sperm DNA fragmentation, and this may give you more insight into why you are not getting pregnant. A high level of DNA fragmentation... may compromise the possibility of a successful pregnancy no matter what fertility treatment is used. DNA fragmentation occurs when there is an alteration to the bases or a physical break in one or both of the DNA strands."Sperm DNA fragmentation is the physical breaking of one or both DNA strands in sperm chromosomes, if this occurs within a gene in a sperm that fertilized the egg, the consequence may be the death of the resulting embryo or miscarriage."
Do you know?
That sperm DNA fragmentation levels are on the rise due to increased reproductive toxicants in our environment .Dramatic cases are those working with pesticides and heavy metals like lead.In cities with high levels of air and water pollution caused by oil or industrial sources, a documentation of infertility and miscarriages shows that the levels of sperm DNA fragmentation have been very high."
A 2008 report practice committee for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) states that while currently routine DNA integrity testing in the evaluation of infertility is not done, sperm DNA damage is more common in infertile men and may affect reproductive outcomes in selected couples, including those with recurrent spontaneous miscarriage or idiopathic (unexplained) infertility.
Can you test for sperm DNA fragmentation in Nigeria?
Yes.
Testing for sperm DNA fragmentation is similar to the regular method of semen analysis at a fertility clinic. A semen sample can be obtained and sent to Androcare laboratories and Cryobank for sperm DNA fragmentation test. The test measures the presence of DNA strand breaks and the percentage of sperm with abnormal proteins that inhibit pregnancy success. The test determines the percentage of sperm with fragmented DNA and the degree of DNA damage and provides a DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) score to indicate the likelihood of sperm contributing to infertility problems. The following scores indicate fertility potential for natural conception and intrauterine insemination:
Less than or equal to 15 percent DFI: Excellent to Good fertility potential
15 percent to 25 percent DFI: Good to Fair fertility potential
Greater than 25 percent DFI: Fair to Poor fertility potential
High DFI values have been shown to reduce the efficacy of intra-uterine insemination (IUI) from 16% to 4%, When facing an DFI above the 30% threshold, it is therefore recommended that clinicians avoid unnecessary IUI cycles

Can You Treat Sperm DNA Fragmentation?
Keep the testes cool — no hot tubs or long hot baths, and wear boxer shorts Stop smoking. Eat a diet rich in antioxidants because oxidative stress is the primary culprit for breaking DNA. Avoid some medications such as cortisone and SSRIs. Get examined for urogenital infections. Eat a healthy diet full of colorful fruits and vegetables. Ask your doctor about supplementary vitamins and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, co-enzyme Q-10 and supplements containing carnitine.

No fertility treatments would work once you have been deemed as infertile. Indeed infertility in Malaysia is the worst thing that can happen to a man. It's unfortunate, but there's just no two ways about it.

When you're trying to conceive, in vitro fertilization can bring you one step closer to getting pregnant, but the process can feel intimidating if you're unsure what's involved. In addition to outlining the IVF process at IVF Centre, Dr. Sumita Sofat is providing information on the couples who are eligible for the treatment. Here's what to know, even before your first doctor's visit.
