Male Oxidative Stress Infertility Test (using MiOXSYS)

Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. In men, its presence indicates an excess of toxins that can result from microbes, chemicals, or physical factors. While free radicals play a natural role in reproductive health, their accumulation damages sperm cell membranes, leading to DNA fragmentation, reduced motility, and impaired fertilization potential. This may affect embryo development, pregnancy success, and even the genetic health of offspring.

Clinical studies identify oxidative stress as a hidden cause of male infertility. It is characterized by excessive oxidants (reactive oxygen species) and depleted antioxidant defense mechanisms. The Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) measures this balance, with higher ORP values indicating oxidative stress severity and its impact on fertility.

MiOXSYS is an advanced method for measuring ORP in semen, providing crucial insights for personalized treatment. One key approach to counteracting oxidative stress is ensuring adequate antioxidant intake, which helps protect sperm cells. Consulting a urologist or andrologist is essential for developing a tailored treatment plan and lifestyle adjustments based on individual parameters.
