Abstract
Sperm DNA integrity assessment provides essential information that traditional semen parameters may not detect. Studies indicate that DNA fragmentation is an independent indicator of semen quality and fertility, which can explain cases of male infertility, especially when basic semen tests show normal results. Using sperm DNA fragmentation assessment techniques should be considered as an addition to traditional semen tests in male infertility diagnostics.
