## Diagnostic Pathways for Male factor

Male factor assessment has evolved beyond simple sperm counts to include functional assays that evaluate the DNA integrity of the spermatozoa.

### Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF)

High levels of SDF are associated with lower fertilisation rates and increased miscarriage risk. This test is recommended when standard semen analysis parameters are normal but conception remains elusive.

### Clinical Interventions

Treatment pathways range from antioxidant therapy and lifestyle modification to advanced selection techniques like PICSI or IMSI during assisted reproduction.
