DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the genetic code information of various living cells. If the DNA is damaged or broken, it will cause the cell to malfunction or have an abnormal shape as well. In this case, if the sperm cells are abnormal, the cell division process will be abnormal. until it can cause the transmission of abnormal genetics from generation to generation as well

How does sperm DNA affect pregnancy?

After the fertilization process of egg cells and sperm will occur cell division which will cause inheritance of genetic traits or transmission of DNA from generation to generation, so if the DNA of sperm is incomplete or damage It will reduce the chances of fertilization of egg cells and sperm. The pregnancy success rate also decreased. or may eventually cause a miscarriage

The main reason why sperm DNA is incomplete or broken is due to

getting older
stress
drinking alcohol smoking
toxic environmental pollution
Other factors that negatively affect health

Therefore, the Sperm DNA Fragmentation test It is another aid in analyzing sperm abnormalities.
