Sperm cryopreservation is the process of freezing sperm and storing it for future use. We can collect samples of semen and check them under a microscope in the laboratory to count sperm cells and see how healthy they are. These sperm cells are then frozen and stored. Sperm cryopreservation is often used for men who want to have children after undergoing treatments that may cause infertility, such as certain cancer treatments or vasectomy. Sperm cryopreservation is also called sperm banking. Sperm or semen cryopreservation is a method of sustaining the viability of sperm over a long period of time via cooling and storage in liquid nitrogen, which is about -196°C. Cryopreservation of sperm allows the sperm to be used for future attempts at insemination and fertilization, with the goal of causing a pregnancy.
