The study looked at sperm DNA fragmentation in men from rural areas to understand male fertility issues. The researchers used a test to check the integrity of genetic material in sperm samples. They found that factors like varicocele, lifestyle habits, and age can affect sperm DNA fragmentation. This test can help predict male infertility even when semen analysis looks normal. It can also help in selecting patients for fertility treatments like IVF, ICSI, and IUI, leading to better pregnancy outcomes.
