How Does Sperm Storage Work?

By SpermCenter - Posted on February 19th, 2010 Fri, 2010-02-19 01:00 | SpermCenter

You may want to consider storing your sperm:

  • Before any therapy that's cancer-related
    Treatment of testicular, lymphoma and other types of cancer may make affect a man's fertility. Sperm storage before treatment can help a patient keep his reproductive capabilities. More cancer support resources here
  • If you're an oligospermia patient
    If you've been diagnosed with oligospermia (low sperm count), you may want to think about storing several specimens, as pooling them all together for one insemination may increase the chance of pregnancy.
  • Before  a vasectomy
    Storing your sperm before you get a vasectomy can be more than just relief; it could be insurance for your reproductive future. It may help preserve fertility and prevent the need for reversal surgeries in case your circumstances change and you want more children.
  • Before prostate or testicular surgery
    Infertility may occur after testicular surgery or prostatectomy; you may want to consider storage before surgery so you retain your reproductive options.
  • Before  ZIFT, GIFT, or IVF procedures
    Storing your sperm before embarking on any kind of assisted reproductive procedure ensures the sperm is always available to your partner, even if your schedule doesn't permit you to go to every appointment.
  • If you have a high-risk job
    Job exposure to dangerous and toxic materials can have major negative affects on male infertility. High risk occupational exposures may include (but are not limited to):
    • Exposure to environmental chemicals and toxins like herbicides, pesticides, radiation, lead, and much more.
    • Pro athletes who risk testicular injury.
    • Military men, EMT's, firemen, policemen or other similar professions.
