Sperm Freezing
Sperm freezing technology enables you to take steps to preserve your fertility. Cryopreserved sperm can be used in a variety of treatments to assist men to become fathers.
How Sperm Freezing Works
There are a couple terms often used to describe sperm freezing such as sperm cryopreservation or sperm banking. After the sperm is collected, it is frozen in vials or straws then stored in liquid nitrogen-filled tanks. Stored sperm can be frozen indefinitely until needed for assisted reproductive procedures, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Why Sperm Freezing Might Be Right for You
- If you are a man undergoing a medical treatment that might compromise your fertility such as a vasectomy or chemotherapy or radiation (oncofertility)
- If your career or lifestyle puts your fertility at risk
- If you are a man who wants to delay having a child for personal or professional reasons
