Laboratory study of changes in spermogram indicators considering the level of sperm DNA fragmentation

Abstract

The relationship between changes in semen parameters in the presence of sperm DNA fragmentation in men of reproductive age with impaired reproductive function was investigated. It has been established that changes in semen analysis indicate the presence of astheno-, oligo- and teratozoospermia, dyskinesis, and are dependent on the level of sperm DNA fragmentation. Thus, the more severe the changes in the key parameters of the spermogram, the greater the probability that the frequency of sperm DNA fragmentation will be higher than normal.
