It's not always just the egg's fault.

We know that the quality of eggs decreases with age. By that we mean that more and more eggs have DNA damage. In a woman who is 40 years old, only 1 in 10 eggs is normal. That is why it is more difficult to get pregnant with increasing age.

But this also happens in men. More and more sperm cells have DNA damage with increasing age and are therefore also guilty of missed pregnancy. Especially in case of poor fertilization and embryo development, attention must be paid to the man's sperm. Are they really as normal as they look?

Clinic Hausken is investing these days in new advanced equipment that can investigate just this. This will help us to find those men who need special treatment and thus increase the chance of success.
