About Sperm Freezing / Banking
Sperm freezing stores semen samples at very low temperatures for future use. It is chosen before cancer treatment, vasectomy or surgery, or when a man cannot be present during treatment.
The process is simple and non-surgical. After two to five days without ejaculation, you give a sample in a private room at the clinic. The laboratory checks count, movement and shape, mixes the sample with a protective solution and divides it into small vials, which are frozen in stages and stored in liquid nitrogen. Several samples are often stored to build up enough.
Usually a good fit if
- Men about to start chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery that may affect fertility.
- Men planning a vasectomy.
- Men with a low or declining sperm count wanting to bank samples.
- Men whose partner will have IVF or IUI while they are away.
May need to wait if
- Having an untreated genital infection that may contaminate the sample, until treated.
- Severe azoospermia, where no sperm are available in the sample; surgical retrieval may be an option.
- Unwillingness to complete consent, including decisions about disposal.
- Misunderstanding that freezing guarantees future fertility.
How to prepare
- Follow the clinic's abstinence period of about two to five days before each sample.
- Infection screening such as HIV and hepatitis tests is required before storage.
- Check the storage period, consent forms and legal rules in the country, including what happens to samples after death.
- If starting cancer treatment, freeze before the first chemotherapy or radiotherapy dose, and inform the clinic.
- Bring identification and previous semen reports.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- How many samples and vials do you recommend I store?
- What are my sperm count and motility before and after freezing?
- How long can samples be stored and what are the renewal arrangements?
- Where and how is storage monitored for power or tank failure?
- Can the sperm be transferred to another clinic at home?
- What will happen to the samples if I do not renew?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No infectious disease screening.
- Unclear labelling and tracking of samples.
- No backup storage or monitoring of tanks.
- No written consent or storage contract.
- Not discussing the effect of freezing on motility.
