Abstract
In this debate article, I am going to set out the case that sperm DNA fragmentation testing is essential in current day fertility management because- •Our current semen analysis testing is unfit for purpose•Sperm DNA damage testing has strong associations with every fertility check point•Sperm DNA damage testing has strong associations with miscarriage•Sperm DNA testing can explain ‘unexplained’ infertility•There are reasons why sperm with poor DNA are successful in ICSI•There are no non-invasive sperm function tests that provide the same information•We need to take a fresh look at the ‘evidence’ against sperm DNA testing•We have no reason to wait. There are benefits for clinics and couples alike.
