Freezing Semen

Obstetrician - Gynecologist - Fertility Specialist

Sperm cryopreservation offers an innovative method to establish a solid and versatile foundation for your family planning. By freezing your sperm in an optimal condition, you create the opportunity to preserve your fertility for different phases of life.

  • Flexibility for the Future: Unforeseen life circumstances such as medical treatments or career changes can jeopardize fertility. Sperm cryopreservation offers a way to counteract this.
  • Age: Unlike women, sperm quality is less dependent on age. However, it can decline over time. Cryopreservation allows you to freeze sperm in a high-quality state, regardless of your age, for preservation in the future.
  • In the context of fertility treatment: If the male partner’s semen analysis is sufficiently good, there’s no need for repeated visits to the clinic during fertilization.
  • Men with a cancer diagnosis: When diagnosed with cancer and facing therapies that could impact sperm production, cryopreservation preserves your chances of biological fatherhood.
  • Health Safety: At the beginning of the process, a thorough blood test is conducted to exclude possible infectious diseases, including HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and Syphilis. Your safety is our top priority, and these steps ensure that the process adheres to strict medical standards.
  • Semen Sample: Once health safety is ensured, the patient provides a semen sample at our clinic. We recommend abstinence of three to five days before semen donation to ensure the sample’s optimal quality.
  • Laboratory Analysis: The provided semen sample undergoes a comprehensive examination in our state-of-the-art laboratory. Various parameters are analyzed to ensure optimal sperm quality for cryopreservation. This step ensures that only the highest-quality sperm are selected for further processing.
  • Selection and Cryopreservation: After the laboratory analysis, we select the highest quality sperm for cryopreservation. The chosen sperm are carefully frozen and stored in our specialized facility under optimal conditions. This guarantees that the quality and fertility of the sperm are preserved for future reproductive procedures.
