The main culprit causes sperm deformities

According to Polish researchers, the fragmentation of DNA in sperm leads to a low rate of natural conception.

Semen analysis is usually based on the numbers and condition of the entire sperm. Research by Polish authors believes that the extent of DNA fragmentation or fragmentation in sperm may indicate the most obvious male fertility.

Research results show that the higher the rate of DNA fragmentation in sperm, the lower the rate of natural conception.

Common causes of lifestyle-related DNA fragmentation include obesity, stress and even mobile phone use.

Older and often stressed men have the highest sperm DNA fragmentation.

Dr. Marian Radwan of Gameta Hospital in Rzgów, Poland, studied over 286 men under 45 years of age in a sterile clinic. Most of them are overweight men, smokers and often stressful in life. Half of them have been using a mobile phone for 6-10 years.

As a result, older and more frequently stressed men have the highest sperm DNA fragmentation. Obese men or cell phone users for more than 10 years also cause fragmentation. In contrast, coffee or alcohol, smoking and physical activity are not related to DNA fragmentation.

In addition to affecting male fertility, DNA fragmentation also has a high risk of genetic mutations in offspring related to various illnesses.

"It is important to minimize DNA fragmentation leading to sperm damage that is positive lifestyle changes, stress reduction, quitting smoking. Yoga and meditation are also effective ways to reduce psychological stress. " Dr. Marian Radwan said.
