Semen freezing, or sperm cryopreservation is a revolutionary method of fertility preservation, in which the man’s sperm can be frozen for future use. Semen freezing is a reliable and effective recommended option if you are planning to delay fatherhood, during medical treatments or due to lifestyle factors that may reduce your fertility. With advanced technology and compassionate care, we offer all our patients state-of-the-art semen-freezing services at Nex IVF Centre.
What is Semen Freezing?
Semen freezing is the process of freezing the sperm and saving it at a temperature as low as possible with liquid nitrogen. When you’re ready to become pregnant, you can have the sperm thawed and used in assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI).
When should we consider freezing semen?
Semen freezing is a practical option for various situations:
Cancer Patients: If treatment in any way affects a man’s fertility, sperm can be removed and preserved before the treatment.
Men Delaying Parenthood: Semen freezing is an option for men who want to delay starting a family for personal, professional, or health reasons.
High-Risk Occupations: As a precaution, men in physically demanding or hazardous professions, like military personnel, or athletes, can keep their fertility.
Low Sperm Count: If you are diagnosed with a low sperm count, viable sperm can be frozen for future use.
Gender-Affirming Treatments: Before starting treatment, transgender people with hormone therapy or surgery can preserve their sperm.

1. Initial Consultation
Our fertility specialists will go over your health, lifestyle factors and the need for semen freezing. It enables us to develop a tailored preservation plan for you.

Ejaculation is used to collect semen samples. However, surgical sperm retrieval such as PESA or TESA may come into being in special situations when an individual cannot produce a sample naturally.
3. Semen Analysis
The balance of sperm is taken before freezing and assessed for count, motility, and morphology. It also ensures that the best quality sperm is preserved to be used in the future.

The sperm is then combined with a cryoprotectant solution to protect against freezing. Advanced techniques then freeze it and chill it in liquid nitrogen tanks at -196°C.
