Analysis of the breakdown of genetic material

The analysis of the breakdown of genetic material in the DNA of sperm is one of the most important tests carried out by the husband, to ensure the integrity of the transferred genetic material, at the same time the examination helps to raise the degree of success of ICSI.

The sperm carries the father’s genetic material DNA, which he transfers to the egg and begins the fertilization stage and then the division of the fertilized egg to form the embryo inside the mother’s womb.

Causes of the breakdown of genetic material

The genetic material contained in semen is influenced by many bad habits, lifestyles, and systems

• Smoking, alcohol, or drug use.
• Harmful diets.
• The presence of pathological problems such as varicocele.
• Having some tumors with exposure to chemotherapy or radiation.
• Exposure to high heat, and high temperature of the testicles.
• In what cases is the analysis of the breakdown of genetic material in sperm performed
• Analysis of the breakdown of genetic material in sperm is the most important analysis that reveals the presence of any dysfunction in the quality of sperm, especially since the semen analysis used does not reveal this defect.

Cases are the analysis of the breakdown of genetic material in sperm performed

On the other hand, there are some cases in which we need to analyze the breakdown of genetic material, including

• ICSI failures are associated with fetal growth or cessation of a pulse.
• Severe weakness in normal semen analysis.
• In cases of varicocele.
• Recurrent miscarriages.
• Delayed childbearing is not of unknown cause.

Treatment of the breakdown of genetic material with sperm

The treatment of the breakdown of genetic material with sperm depends mainly on treating the main cause of this cracking, so the andrologist at the Riyadh Fertility Center tends to diagnose the condition well and treat the cause, whether it is varicocele or any other cause.

In the end, please note that the presence of a high percentage of cracking in the genetic material does not necessarily mean that pregnancy is completely impossible, but the case is well prepared before starting the ICSI process, where the doctors of the Riyadh Fertility Center select sperm that carry healthy genetic material to increase the chances of fertilization of the egg and the division of high-quality embryos, after following an appropriate treatment plan for the husband.
