What is a Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) Test?
The Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) measures the percentage of sperm with damaged or broken DNA. Healthy sperm DNA is important for fertilization and normal embryo development. High DFI is linked to male infertility, poor IVF or ICSI outcomes, and increased risk of miscarriage. Doctors use DFI when standard semen tests are abnormal, when couples have unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, or repeated assisted reproduction failure. Results help guide treatment choices like lifestyle changes, medical therapy, varicocele repair, or choosing specific fertility procedures.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) Test Preparation
Abstain from ejaculation for 2 to 7 days before sample collection.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) Test Parameters

- Single test
Why Take a Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) Test?
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) is usually part of an extended male fertility evaluation or advanced fertility panel. Doctors order it when a couple has trouble conceiving, when semen analysis is abnormal, after recurrent miscarriages, or after failed IVF/ICSI attempts. It helps identify sperm DNA damage linked to varicocele, infections, age, smoking, toxins, heat, or some medications. A family history of infertility or repeated pregnancy loss can make this test especially relevant.
