DNA Fragmentation Test in Saudi Arabia at VIVILITY

Experiencing Unexplained Infertility? The Role of DNA Fragmentation Testing

When traditional semen analysis appears normal but conception is still out of reach, the problem might lie deeper—within the sperm’s DNA. At VIVILITY Fertility Clinics across Saudi Arabia, we offer advanced DNA fragmentation testing to assess the integrity of sperm DNA and detect hidden male infertility issues.

This cutting-edge test is available in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Mecca, Medina, Khobar, and other major KSA cities. Helping couples struggling with recurrent IVF failure, poor embryo development, or unexplained infertility get the answers they need.

Schedule your sperm DNA fragmentation test today and take control of your fertility journey.

What is a DNA Fragmentation Test?

Sperm DNA fragmentation refers to damage or breaks in the genetic material of sperm cells. Even when sperm count and motility are normal, DNA fragmentation can affect the sperm’s ability to fertilize an egg and support healthy embryo development.

There are several testing methods:

• SCSA (Sperm Chromatin Structure Assay)
• TUNEL Assay
• COMET Assay
• SCD (Sperm Chromatin Dispersion) Test

These tests measure the DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI), giving insights into the quality of the sperm at a genetic level—a critical factor in male fertility evaluation.

Why is DNA Fragmentation Testing Important?

Unlike basic semen analysis, DNA fragmentation testing provides a more detailed picture of sperm health. It’s especially vital in cases where:

• Standard semen parameters are normal, but infertility persists
• IVF or ICSI cycles fail repeatedly
• There are issues with embryo development or early miscarriage

High levels of DNA fragmentation can be caused by:

• Oxidative stress
• Age-related DNA damage
• Exposure to environmental toxins
• Varicocele
• Smoking or poor lifestyle habits

If you’ve experienced unexplained fertility struggles in Saudi Arabia, DNA fragmentation testing may be the missing piece.

Who Should Consider a DNA Fragmentation Test?

DNA fragmentation testing is recommended for men who:

• Have faced multiple failed IVF or ICSI attempts
• Are partners in recurrent pregnancy loss
• Have a diagnosis of unexplained infertility
• Are of advanced paternal age
• Are exposed to heat, radiation, or industrial chemicals
• Are smokers or have poor lifestyle habits
• Have undergone cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiation)

Book your test if you fall into one of these high-risk categories.

Types of DNA Fragmentation Tests

VIVILITY offers all major clinically validated tests:

• TUNEL Assay: Measures DNA breaks using enzyme-linked fluorescent markers
• SCSA: Detects abnormal chromatin structure under flow cytometry
• COMET Assay: Visualizes DNA damage in a comet-like tail pattern
• SCD Test: Simple, reliable visual test for identifying DNA fragmentation patterns

Each method offers a different approach based on the clinical context and lab infrastructure.

How is the DNA Fragmentation Test Performed?

The test process is simple and non-invasive:

1. Semen sample collection after 2–5 days of abstinence
2. The sample is processed in our state-of-the-art fertility labs
3. Advanced assays are used to assess DNA integrity
4. Results are usually available within 2–3 business days

You don’t need special preparation beyond abstaining from ejaculation for a few days.

Schedule your sample collection in Medina, Mecca, or any nearby VIVILITY center.

Advanced Sperm DNA Testing at VIVILITY across Saudi Arabia

VIVILITY is among the few male fertility clinics in KSA equipped with advanced diagnostic capabilities, including DNA fragmentation testing. With us, you get:

• Precision diagnostics and high accuracy
• Consultation with fertility specialists post-test
• Confidential, professional service in comfortable clinical settings
• National coverage: Riyadh, Jeddah, Khobar, Abha, Tabuk, Jazan, and more

We combine science and empathy to guide your fertility journey effectively.

What Do DNA Fragmentation Results Mean?

Your test results are shared as a DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI):

• <15%: Low fragmentation (normal fertility potential)
• 15–30%: Moderate fragmentation (possible concern)
• >30%: High fragmentation (reduced fertility potential)

Our fertility experts will help interpret your results and advise on next steps, which may include:

• Lifestyle changes
• Sperm selection techniques (PICSI, IMSI)
• Using testicular sperm with lower DNA damage (via TESE)

Next Steps After Testing

If your DNA fragmentation index is high, VIVILITY offers:

• Antioxidant therapy to reduce oxidative stress
• Hormonal evaluation and treatment if needed
• Lifestyle optimization support (diet, stress, sleep)
• Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) to bypass ejaculated sperm DNA damage
• Tailored ART planning: ICSI with PICSI or IMSI, IVF

Let our experts in Dammam, Jeddah, and Riyadh guide you with a custom fertility action plan.
