Understanding Sperm Testing

If you are struggling to conceive, get the sperm tested! A standard semen analysis looks at the count, motility (movement) and morphology (shape) of sperm.

If you are undergoing IVF or your partner has had one or more miscarriages it might also be worth getting a DNA fragmentation test. This is even if you have already had a standard semen analysis done and the results were normal. Normal results don’t necessarily mean that your sperm is in perfect condition. Sperm are essentially little parcels of DNA and are very susceptible to damage and a fragmentation test looks at how much damage is present.

If the results are not perfect, rest assured a lot can be done to improve quality. Like save and follow for more tips on how to improve sperm health.
