Many couples trying to conceive look for various fertility treatments and could end up going through a number of cycles of fertility treatments. It is not only time consuming for them, but also an emotional and financial burden facing the unsuccessful outcomes. Doing the SCSA® Test for sperm DNA fragmentation, will be helpful for them in assessing their Sperm DNA quality and then choosing the most suitable fertility treatment option. Furthermore, the routine semen analysis measures only what is seen on the outside of the sperm – the SCSA® test measures what the light microscope cannot see, namely the extremely important integrity of the male genome.  It’s what on the inside that really counts!
