You may want to consider cryobanking if:
- You will be undergoing a treatment for cancer that may impair your sperm production or quality (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation).
- You will be taking any ongoing medications that may impair your sperm production or quality (e.g., sulfasalazine, methotrexate).
- You will be undergoing any procedure that could affect your testes or prostate, or your ability to ejaculate (e.g., prostate resection, colon surgery, or retroperitoneal lymph node dissection).
- You have a medical condition that is beginning to affect your ability to ejaculate (e.g., multiple sclerosis, diabetes).
- You are undergoing a vasectomy.
- You are entering a line of work where you may be introduced to reproductive toxins.
- As part of your infertility treatment, you will be undergoing a procedure where sperm may be easily harvested (e.g., vas reconstruction, testicular biopsy). These sperm can then be stored and used later in conjunction with advanced reproductive techniques if alternative infertility treatments do not prove successful.
- Does the surgeon you are considering freeze sperm (cryopreservation) from the reconnection site as a back-up to your vasectomy reversal? If the program does not offer this, then you are not being offered all the options that a state-of-the-art center should be offering.
If you are considering long-term sperm cryopreservation Legacy Male Health Institute can take care of all your storage arrangements. Call our office at (972) 612-7131 to preserve your Legacy Today.
