Facts Of Interest About Sperm Freezing And Storagesubmitted on 25 May 2015
Sperm storage and freezing is basically a procedure that freezes sperm cells so that they can be preserved and then used at a later point in time. This is a procedure that has been conducted successfully for over 40 years now. We have access to various special technologies that take advantage of liquid nitrogen. Sperm can easily be stored for a long time while maintaining a really high quality.
Why Freeze Sperm?
It is important to prepare for what life throws at you. There are so many situations in which fertility can be negatively affected. Some of the situations that can be mentioned include:- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Vasectomy
- Testicular surgery
- Pelvic surgery
- Diabetes when it leads to ED
- High risk sports
How Many Sperm Samples Will Be Frozen?
This depends on individual case. A specialist at a clinic can advise you what to do. Most of the men will freeze around 2 to 5 samples. Others will want to freeze many more. The deciding factor will normally be how much time is available until a specific event in life. It is a good idea to always abstain from having intercourse for around 2 days but not longer than 5 so that the best sample can be obtained.
Storage
The process in which sperm is collected is quite self-explanatory. Freezing is also easy to understand since the use of liquid nitrogen is something that happens in various different situations. When referring to storage, people do not actually understand much. You normally store sperm samples for a period of ten years. You can go over that just in some specific cases. Once again, it is really important that you talk with the person that handles your case at the clinic in order to see exactly how much time sperm can be stored.
We have to understand that sperm storage fees do exist for absolutely all samples. That fee will normally include a period of storage, something like 6 months. After the time is over, more samples can be taken and stored or you could just preserve for a longer period. Annual fees can also exist based on storing, without actually having the clinic ask for more if you have more samples.
Using Stored Samples
It is important to inform the doctor that handled the procedure as soon as you decide to use the samples that were stored. That is important since it will help you to increase the possibility of having a successful procedure happen. Also, the partner will need to go through some fertility investigations. When sperm samples are in a very good quality, it is not at all easy to use them for whatever reasons may exist, including IUI done at ovulation time. Since sperm is basically frozen and then thawed, we are faced with lower pregnancy rates as compared with general fertile population. However, the difference is only about 10%. This is definitely not that much. You do need to talk with your doctor all through the process though.
