Summary

This study looked at whether damage to sperm DNA plays a role in recurrent pregnancy loss (multiple miscarriages) when no other cause is found. Researchers compared sperm from 64 men in couples with unexplained pregnancy loss to sperm from men who had healthy children. The goal was to see if higher levels of sperm DNA fragmentation or chromosome abnormalities are linked to miscarriage.
