How long can my sperm be frozen?

How long can my sperm be frozen?
share

Semen cryopreservation is a very useful technique when fertility is affected (for example in cancer treatments or surgeries that compromise the functionality of the male reproductive system), or when paternity needs to be deferred.

Why is it useful?

With this technique you will be able to freeze your semen to be used in the future, when you consider that it is the right time. The laboratory in charge will give you the instructions for the collection of the sample in order to ensure its viability after thawing.

What does it consists in?

The technique uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the semen. Lowering the temperature reduces the sperm’s mobility (but it is never lost), allowing its preservation for long periods of time.

How long can my sperm be frozen?

The time during which the sample is cryopreserved does not influence sperm quality, therefore, we can have the samples frozen for as long as it is needed. There are known cases of samples that had been frozen for up to 22 years that have managed to lead to pregnancy, without causing any consequence for the offspring.

In short, you can have the sample frozen for as long as it is needed without decreasing sperm’s quality or causing any other problems.

If you intend to perform a semen cryopreservation process to preserve your fertility or you have any other related question, please email us to info@bcnivf.com or call to +34 934 176 916. We will be glad to take care of you!
