DFI test measures the integrity of DNA present in the sperm’s head. The DNA of sperm is stored in the sperm’s head within a long thread-like structure called chromosomes. During the process of formation of sperm the DNA comes together to form a chromosome. The procedure offers far better results than traditional tests, detecting details that reach beyond conventional methods.

Benefits

This procedure helps us understand whether the semen sample from the male partner can be used or not. In case the fragmentation is of a higher degree, we suggest employing a sperm donor.

What are the steps of calculating DNA Fragmentation Index of sperm?

The DNA Fragmentation Index of sperm (DFI) is gauged through a straightforward test, akin to a regular semen evaluation.

1. Semen Procurement

At the outset, a semen sample is obtained from the male partner for examination.

2. Sperm Evaluation

Our specialised team of embryologists evaluates the semen sample by running it through an array of sophisticated diagnostic tests to measure the degree of sperm DNA fragmentation. The condition can be sidestepped with an effective fertility plan. Our fertility specialists will sit down with you and your partner to discuss a suitable solution, should you be diagnosed with sperm DNA fragmentation.
