How do I know if I have problems with meiosis?

Last Update: 04/12/2024

If you are a man, by chromosomal analysis of a seminal sample it is possible to evaluate if there is a problem in this process.

The most common test is the FISH of spermatozoa.

In the case of females, it is more difficult to evaluate, since obtaining the eggs is a more expensive process. If meiosis is suspected to be altered and IVF treatment is performed, PGD can be performed to improve success rates.
