Does reducing sperm DNA damage necessarily improve birth?
Randomized controlled trial · 119 couples
Library updated:
What was investigated and what was found?
Microfluidic preparation reduced sperm DNA fragmentation more effectively. Nevertheless, fertilization, pregnancy and live-birth outcomes did not improve significantly.
Interpreting the findings
Results apply to the enrolled population and tested protocols; they are not a personal success prediction.
How can you prepare for a consultation?
Bring semen analyses, any DNA-fragmentation or urology/andrology reports, and previous fertilization results. Findings from both partners should guide discussion of IVF or ICSI planning.
Let us begin with your diagnosis, previous findings and goals as a couple. You can request an initial consultation with Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu to discuss what this research means for your own situation.
