what

FISH is a powerful diagnostic tool for assessing chromosomal aneuploidies in sperm. It is particularly beneficial for male patients with a history of recurrent pregnancy losses, male infertility, or those who have undergone chemotherapy or engaged in substance abuse. By identifying chromosomal abnormalities, FISH can provide valuable insights into potential causes of fertility issues and guide treatment decisions.

how

The sperm FISH technique involves several key steps, beginning with sperm collection after 2 to 3 days of abstinence. Following collection, the sperm samples are processed and labeled with specific fluorescent probes for chromosomal analysis. The prepared samples are then examined under a fluorescence microscope. This technique enables the detection of chromosomal abnormalities, such as aneuploidies, within the sperm cells, providing valuable insights into male fertility issues.
