Is DFI a routine test for every couple trying to conceive? 🧬
DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) testing is not required for every couple. However, it plays a critical role in selective clinical cases, including:
* Repeated miscarriages
* Repeated IVF or ICSI failures
* Unexplained infertility with normal semen parameters
* History of heavy smoking or alcohol consumption
Even if basic semen analysis parameters (motility, morphology, count) appear normal, internal DNA damage can still affect fertilization, embryo quality, blastocyst formation, and overall pregnancy success.
For the right couple at the right time, DFI testing offers invaluable insights to guide future fertility treatments effectively.
