Oxidative Stress Analysis

Oxidative stress analysis is a significant test when it comes to evaluating fertility potential. The presence of increased oxidative stress is one of the main causes of male infertility.

Oxidative stress analysis evaluates the ROS (reactive oxygen species) levels, while it is also an important test for evaluating fertility potential. The presence of increased oxidative stress is one of the main causes of male infertility, as it:

Has a negative effect on sperm motility and morphology.
Prevents sperm-egg fusion.
Causes damage to the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.

Suitable antioxidant treatment is prescribed when necessary. In addition, a suitable treatment method is followed, which isolates a sample with lower oxidative stress from the original.
