Sperm freezing to support reproductive choices
Sperm freezing is a safe and effective way to preserve male fertility. A semen sample is collected, analysed, and frozen using specialised cryopreservation techniques. It is then securely stored for future use, offering reassurance for those planning ahead or undergoing treatments that may affect fertility.

In most cases, sperm is collected through masturbation at the clinic. If ejaculation isn’t possible or there are underlying conditions, it can also be retrieved surgically through procedures like TESE or PESA.
When cryopreserved correctly in liquid nitrogen, sperm can be safely stored for 10-20 years or even longer, with minimal impact on quality.
Yes. Many sperm survive the freezing and thawing process and remain usable in fertility treatments. There may be a slight drop in motility and count, but they are typically still effective.
A semen analysis is done to assess sperm count, movement, and shape. Infectious disease screening, like HIV and Hepatitis B/C, is also required.
Costs may vary, but generally include:
1) Initial collection and analysis: ₹5,000-₹10,000
2) Annual storage: ₹20,000-₹30,000 per year
It’s best to freeze 2-3 semen samples on different days. This helps ensure there’s enough high-quality sperm available when needed.
No. Frozen sperm needs to be used with assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI. It’s not suitable for unassisted intercourse or home insemination.
Yes. Sperm freezing is a well-established process with a strong safety record. Children born using frozen sperm have no increased risk of health issues or birth defects.
It starts with a question. Our fertility experts take it from there.
