The need to extend male fertility due to postponing having children (financial or social reasons) or due to medical reasons (e.g. malignancy, varicocele, endocrinology disorders) renders sperm cryopreservation necessary. This procedure involves storing sperm in special liquid nitrogen cryopreservation tanks, which ensures it can later be used for successful fertilization.
Sperm Cryopreservation
Sperm freezing or cryopreservation is a process whereby the sperm cells are preserved for future use.
Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation
The testicular tissue is treated in an andrology lab, so that sperm suitable for fertilization or future storage is isolated and placed in liquid nitrogen at -196°C, where it will remain until used for micro-insemination (ICSI).
