Sperm Freezing

What is Sperm Freezing?

Sperm freezing, also known as sperm cryopreservation, is a simple and effective method of preserving male reproductive cells for future use. It involves collecting, freezing, and securely storing sperm in liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures (-196°C). 

This ensures the sperm remains viable indefinitely, ready to be used whenever needed for fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Thanks to advancements in vitrification technology, sperm freezing has become a reliable and long-term solution for male fertility preservation. It offers peace of mind to men who wish to plan for their future parenthood or safeguard against potential fertility challenges.

Benefits of Sperm Freezing

Sperm freezing comes with numerous practical and emotional benefits. At Mamata Fertility Hospital, we recommend it as an option for men with varying needs and life circumstances.

1. Preserves Fertility

Sperm freezing allows men to store their reproductive potential for years, safeguarding against unforeseen challenges that may arise due to medical or lifestyle factors.

2. Provides Flexibility in Family Planning

By freezing sperm at a younger age, men ensure the availability of healthy and viable sperm when they’re ready to start a family.

3. Supports Medical Needs

Men undergoing medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, which can impact fertility, can preserve their sperm beforehand to keep their options open for future parenthood.

4. Useful for Couples Undergoing Fertility Treatments

For men whose work schedules or health conditions might prevent them from providing a fresh sperm sample on the day of their partner’s IVF or IUI, having frozen sperm ensures the process can continue smoothly.

5. Ideal for Sperm Donation

Men wishing to donate sperm for use by others can store their samples securely until needed.

Who Can Benefit from Sperm Freezing?

Sperm freezing is ideal for numerous scenarios, making it a versatile fertility preservation option. Below are some groups of people who may benefit from it.

1. Men Undergoing Medical Treatments

Men undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery for cancer or other conditions may experience decreased sperm production. Freezing ensures future fertility is protected.

2. Men in High-Risk Professions

Individuals working in high-risk professions, such as the military or jobs with potential exposure to toxins, can ensure their fertility is not compromised by their work environment.

3. Men Facing Fertility Decline

Older men experiencing age-related declines in sperm quality or quantity can preserve sperm at its healthiest stage.

The Sperm Freezing Procedure

The sperm freezing process at Mamata Fertility Hospital is simple, safe, and efficient. Here’s what patients can expect during the procedure:

1. Initial Consultation and Screening

• Patients consult with our fertility specialists for a thorough medical history review and discussion of options.
• Screening tests to check for infections or genetic conditions may be conducted to ensure the health and suitability of the sperm.

2. Semen Collection

• Sperm is collected via masturbation in a private, comfortable room at our facility.
• For men unable to provide a sample this way, alternatives like testicular sperm extraction (TESE) can be used.

3. Analysis and Preparation

• The sperm is analyzed in our advanced laboratory to evaluate concentration, motility, and morphology.
• Only healthy, high-quality sperm is selected for freezing.

4. Freezing and Storage

• Using vitrification, the selected sperm is quickly frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at ultra-low temperatures.
• The sperm can remain frozen for years without losing its viability.

The process is quick and non-invasive, and our team ensures you are supported and informed at every stage.

Success Rates

The success of sperm freezing and its subsequent use in fertility treatments depends on several factors, which our specialists at Mamata Fertility Hospital carefully evaluate.

Factors Influencing Success:

1. Age and health of the individual at the time of freezing.
2. Quality and quantity of sperm frozen.
3. Type of fertility treatment carried out later, such as IVF or IUI.

Thanks to advanced freezing technology, most frozen sperm samples survive the thawing process and perform as effectively as fresh samples in achieving pregnancy. Our facility ensures optimal outcomes by combining expertise and technology.
