Sperm Freezing
Freezing sperm, also known as cryopreservation or semen banking, is a technique that preserves male fertility by freezing sperm in a specialized medium and storing it in liquid nitrogen at an extremely low temperature of -196°C.
Benefits of Freezing Sperm:
- This method is advantageous for older men who may have a low sperm count or declining sperm quality.
- Suitable for those involved in hazardous work or high-risk professions such as the military or those undergoing medical procedures like vasectomy or gender reassignment surgery.
- Men awaiting treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy can benefit from sperm banking to secure their fertility for the future.
