Preserve your fertility for the future
Sperm freezing, also called sperm cryopreservation, is a technique that allows sperm cells to be preserved at extremely low temperatures (–196ºC) in liquid nitrogen, maintaining their viability indefinitely.
It is a simple, safe, and effective procedure that gives men the opportunity to preserve their fertility for the future.
Normally by masturbation at the clinic.
Assessment of sperm concentration, motility, and morphology.
Sperm is mixed with a protective medium and frozen in liquid nitrogen at –196ºC.
Sperm remains stable indefinitely until it is needed.
For many years. Studies show that semen maintains its viability after decades of storage.
Although freezing/thawing can induce alterations in parameters such as motility, vitality, sperm morphology and an increase in DNA fragmentation, these modifications do not prevent sperm from maintaining their fertilizing capacity, especially when assisted reproduction techniques such as ICSI are used.
In cases of severe male factor infertility, before performing in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), it is important to study testicular meiosis to rule out genetic abnormalities in sperm that could lead to repeated pregnancy failures or embryonic abnormalities. In some cases, if there is a sufficient number of spermatogenesis cells, this study can be performed on semen.
Depending on the case, it is used in artificial insemination, IVF or ICSI.
