It’s time to dispel the misconceptions: age can impact male fertility too! Furthermore, even though it is rarely emphasized, the quality and quantity of sperm are vital elements that contribute to the success of conception. Luckily, the process of freezing sperm enables you to preserve its mobility, morphology, and genetic quality for future use.
Sperm freezing is the fastest and least invasive fertility preservation treatment. There are many reasons to freeze sperm, but here are some of the most common ones.
As time goes by, sperm cells lose some of the characteristics that facilitate egg fertilization, embryo implantation and successful pregnancy. Thanks to freezing, you can preserve its qualities for the future.
If you’re considering hormone transition, freezing sperm is the best way to protect your fertility from side effects, while enjoying the exploration and affirmation of your identity.
Some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can have a permanent impact on fertility. Fortunately, you can freeze sperm before starting your cancer treatment to leave the door open to life in the future.
