Microorganisms and bacteria present in semen can contribute to oxidative stress, a condition where there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. This oxidative stress can damage sperm DNA, leading to DNA fragmentation. High levels of DNA fragmentation in sperm are associated with reduced fertility, as it can impact the sperm’s ability to fertilize an egg and develop into a healthy embryo. Therefore, infections in the reproductive tract that increase oxidative stress and DNA fragmentation in sperm can be a contributing factor to male infertility.
This test involves culturing a semen sample to detect the presence of bacteria or fungi, which can indicate an infection in the reproductive tract.
It’s crucial for identifying infections that may cause or contribute to infertility, such as affecting sperm health or blocking reproductive pathways.
Men with symptoms of infection (e.g., discomfort, unusual discharge), poor semen analysis results, or unexplained infertility are advised to undergo this test.
The results will identify or rule out infectious agents in the semen, guiding appropriate treatment.
Detecting and treating infections can improve semen quality and fertility outcomes, making this test valuable in the fertility evaluation process.
Semen culture is a key diagnostic tool, offering insights into infections that can impact male fertility and guiding effective treatment strategies.
