Male Fertility Preservation
Sperm Freezing & Cryopreservation in Colombia
Sperm cryopreservation preserves male fertilizing capacity indefinitely in liquid nitrogen tanks at -196 °C. It is an essential safeguard before medical treatments, vasectomy, or for use in future IVF and IUI procedures.
When is Sperm Freezing Indicated?
- Before cancer therapies (chemotherapy, pelvic radiation, or testicular surgery) that can impair spermatogenesis.
- Prior to vasectomy surgery to preserve future biological parenthood options.
- Severe progressive decline in sperm parameters (oligozoospermia or asthenozoospermia).
- Men with high occupational hazard exposure to radiation, toxic chemicals, or extreme heat.
- When the male partner cannot be present on the day of egg retrieval for an IVF or IUI cycle.
- Sperm retrieved through surgical testicular biopsy (TESE) or epididymal aspiration (PESA).
Key Advantages
- Maintains sperm viability and fertilizing potential for decades in liquid nitrogen at -196 °C.
- Simple, non-invasive collection process requiring only a standard abstinence window (2 to 5 days).
- Post-thaw cryosurvival testing to establish the exact post-thaw recovery parameters.
- Complete peace of mind for oncology and military patients protecting their reproductive future.
