40% of couple infertility is due to MALE FACTORS
1/4 of male partners of couples attending an infertility clinic have > 30% of sperm with DNA Fragmentation (%DFI)
30% DFI is established as the CLINICAL THRESHOLD for placing a man into a category of longer time to pregnancy, more miscarriages or no preganacy.
Some prescription drugs such as antidepressants (Paxil, Prozac ) cause Sperm DNA Fragmentation >30% DFI
IUI is no advantage over natural pregnancy when %DFI >25%
MEDICAL ACTION POINT : DO AN SCSA TEST FIRST together with a semen analysis. If O.K. then test the female partner.
Dr. Evenson, PH.D., HCLD, is the INVENTOR OF the SCSA and has > 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE in research and development and more than 135 publications and book chapters on sperm DNA. Some commercial competitors have simply tried to copy our process but have neither the proper software for precise analysis nor the expertise for clinical interpretations.
