A sperm fragmentation rate of 13% is normal and does not require treatment.
Sperm fragmentation rate is the sperm DNA fragmentation rate, the normal range is less than 15%, between 15% and 30% is a critical state; if it is greater than 30%, it is usually considered that the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is high. If it is greater than 30%, the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is usually considered to be high. Therefore, a sperm fragmentation rate of 13% is generally normal.
There are many reasons for the increase in sperm DNA fragmentation rate, some of which are smoking, drinking, staying up late at night and working under pressure. In addition, diseases such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis and varicocele can also lead to increased sperm DNA fragmentation rate.
Since DNA is the substance that carries genetic information in human beings, if the sperm DNA fragmentation rate is high, it may have an impact on fertility, infertility, recurrent miscarriages and so on.
Therefore, sperm DNA fragmentation rate is an indicator of sperm quality, and a sperm fragmentation rate of 13% is normal and does not require treatment.
