Sperm Freezing
Sperm Freezing
- Before you begin chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment, your sperm can be frozen and stored until you wish to start a family. Even if the sperm profile is poor, as is common during times of illness, it is usually possible to store sufficient sperm for use in IVF in the future.
- Men who have to travel overseas or work in dangerous situations may also want to have their sperm frozen for possible use in the future.
- About 25-50% of the sperm will survive the process of freezing, and they can be stored for many years. There is a yearly fee for sperm storage.
