A member asked:

If sperm dha fragmentation is 32% what are the chances of getting pregnant and the chances of a miscarriage,due to sperm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sperm DNA fragments: Sperm fragmentation may be due to cigarette smoking, varicocele [dilated scrotal veins] & heat exposure. Often the cause is unknown. High levels are associated with low pregnancy rates unless IVF & ICSI is used. The miscarriage rate is slightly higher. If the cause is known, fix it. If not, you may wish to consider IVF & ICSI for the best results.
