The SpermComet Test
Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples, and 40% of the problems experienced are related to the man. Under the guidance of Professor Sheena Lewis, research at Queen’s University Belfast has shown that alcohol intake, recreational drug use, and smoking all cause damage to sperm. Damage to sperm DNA affects every fertility checkpoint and increases the risk of miscarriage. At Lewis Fertility Testing, the SpermCometTM Test has been developed. This is a second-generation sperm DNA damage test that provides more information than conventional semen analysis or any other sperm DNA test. With individual sperm analysed for DNA damage, this is the most sensitive DNA test available. Clinically defined thresholds guide couples to the best course of fertility treatment for them. The Test can also explain 80% of previously unexplained infertility. For further information, visit: www.lewisfertilitytesting.com
