When it comes to fertility, it’s not just about egg health. Sperm plays a huge role too.

The Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) reflects sperm DNA integrity. Higher DNA damage is often found in couples with “unexplained infertility.”

Here’s what the research shows about poor sperm health:

⏳ Can delay time to conception

💔 Linked to recurrent pregnancy loss and miscarriage

🍼 Can prevent healthy embryo development

🌱 Impacts placental development

⚠️ Doubles the risk of preeclampsia

👶 Increases the risk of premature birth and low birth weight

Comment “Pregnancy Outcomes” to learn more about how sperm health affects conception, how to increase male fertility, and how to make sperm stronger for pregnancy.
