Semen freezing, also known as sperm cryopreservation, is a technique used to preserve semen for future use. Semen freezing is commonly used by men who want to preserve their fertility before undergoing medical treatments that may damage or destroy their sperm, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Semen freezing is also used by men who are planning to have a vasectomy or by sperm donors.
The semen freezing process involves collecting a semen sample, which is then processed in a laboratory to remove seminal fluid and other debris. The remaining sperm are then mixed with a cryoprotectant solution to protect them during the freezing process. The sperm are slowly cooled to a temperature of -196°C and stored in liquid nitrogen until they are needed.
Semen can be stored for many years using this technique, and the frozen sperm can be used for insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. Semen freezing can also be used for couples who are planning to use donor sperm.
The success of using frozen sperm depends on the quality of the semen sample and the storage and thawing techniques used. While the process of semen freezing is generally considered safe, there is a small risk of damage to the sperm during the freezing and thawing process. Couples or individuals considering semen freezing should speak with their fertility specialist to determine if this is an appropriate option for their individual situation.

Before your first appointment, one of our clinical care coordinators will call you to discuss your case and review what appointments to expect. The clinical care coordinator will make sure all appointments are arranged in a timely fashion. Each of our patients is unique and treated individually, and the schedule of doctors you see will be tailored specifically to your needs. The doctors will discuss your care options with you and answer any questions that you may have regarding your diagnosis and management.
We are dedicated to helping pregnant women and their families after a significant birth defect or genetic condition has been detected. Specialists from both obstetrics and pediatrics work together as a team to determine the best way to care for you and your unborn baby, both during and after your pregnancy.
Whenever possible, we create an integrated appointment plan, so that you can meet with the multiple subspecialists involved in your case. Some patients come here for a second opinion and go back to their obstetrician. Other patients transfer their care to Columbia as their delivery date approaches to make sure their baby immediately receives the necessary specialized pediatric care after birth.
