What the test measures
A laboratory examines a sperm sample for damage or fragmentation in its DNA. Several testing methods exist, so results need interpretation using the method and laboratory involved.
When to discuss testing
Bring previous semen reports and details of earlier fertility treatment. Your clinician can explain whether testing is useful in your circumstances and what could follow a raised result.
