In the past several decades the technology of cryopreservation, or maintaining life in a
frozen state, has advanced considerably. With the use of modern techniques,
cryopreservation of sperm to preserve an individual's ability to reproduce has become
successful, safe, and widely available. Sperm freezing is the best fertility preserving option
for men. Sperm banking is of great help for couples with infertility issues. Fortunately, male
factor infertility no longer means a couple must forgo the experience of pregnancy and
childbirth. Thanks to modern reproductive technology and sperm banks, many of these
couples have the option of becoming parents by using artificial insemination. The evolution
of sperm Bank has enabled women to have greater control over their reproductive lives.
Sperm freezing/banking facility is also available for Male factor infertility/husband having
problem of producing the sample on demand. In such cases Samples from husband are
freezed prior to IUI or IVF & pooled later on to get required no. of motile sperms for IUI or
IVF.

What is a sperm bank?
A sperm bank, semen bank or cryobank is a facility that collects and stores human sperm
mainly for the purpose of achieving pregnancies through third party reproduction, notably
by artificial insemination.
To whom is the sperm bank useful?
In certain cases the sperms of the husband is stored and frozen, which is later used for the
infertility treatment of the wife. Following are the usual circumstances where it may be
necessary:

Situational Erectile Dysfunction in Males

Cancer in Males

Who needs to freeze semen?
Sperms are frozen to preserve male fertility for the future. Some common reasons why you
may choose to store a semen sample include:
1) Prior to Artificial Insemination: One common cause of male infertility is a low
concentration of sperm in the ejaculate. For some, the collection of one or more samples to
be cryopreserved and later combined with a fresh sample and used for artificial
insemination may be helpful in achieving a pregnancy.
2) Prior to the absence of the partner: For couples going through cycles of artificial
insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF), it can be frustrating when responsibilities or
obligations require a spouse to be absent. If it is anticipated that the male partner will be
unavailable during the optimal time for the procedure, it is possible to cryopreserve a
semen sample prior to his departure as a backup in the event he is prevented from
providing a sample at the time of the procedure. While this may not be optimal, it can often
keep the time and finances invested in a procedure from being wasted due to unforeseen
circumstances.
3) Vasectomy: The majority of men who choose a vasectomy as a form of birth control see
it as a permanent decision. However, unexpected changes in a patient's life such as a new
marriage or death of a child or spouse can give rise to the desire to have more children.
Vasectomies can be surgically reversed but success is widely variable and the surgery is
expensive and invasive. Additionally, after an initially successful reversal, the ducts through
which the sperm travel often develop scar tissue and become obstructed. As most
individuals plan for a vasectomy well in advance, cryopreservation prior to having a
vasectomy provides an effective form of insurance against a change in future plans.
4) Treatment for malignant disease: Hodgkin's disease, leukaemia, testicular cancer and
other malignancies often occur in juveniles, young adults and others who haven't started or
completed their families. Fortunately, early detection and improved therapies have
dramatically increased the survival rate for these diseases. Unfortunately, the
chemotherapeutic agents and radiation therapy used to treat these diseases affect the
production of sperm. Even though the time between diagnosis and initiation of treatment is
short, there is often a window of several days in which a patient can cryopreserve his
semen. Having your sperm frozen can preserve future fertility.

How is the semen cryopreserved?
Sperm are frozen and stored through a process called cryopreservation. Semen samples are
prepared first with a solution that minimizes damage during the freezing and thawing
processes. The samples are then placed in vials, sealed and slowly frozen in liquid nitrogen
vapour. Frozen samples are stored in liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196 degrees
Celsius (-320 degrees Fahrenheit). Frozen semen seems to have no expiration date as long
as the storage environment is well maintained and stable. Specimens may be stored until an
individual decides to withdraw sperm for assisted reproductive treatments or the donor
decides to end his storage contract. Sperm can be frozen indefinitely.
How is Cryopreserved Sperm used to achieve pregnancy?
Cryopreserved sperm are generally used in two different ways to achieve pregnancy. The
first way is with artificial insemination. When artificial insemination is used the female
partner, working with a fertility specialist, determines when she will be ovulating. At the
appropriate time, an appointment is scheduled with the Andrology laboratory and one of
the cryopreserved sample is prepared by carefully thawing and washing the semen sample.
The washing procedure removes the cryoprotectants and seminal fluid, and concentrates
the sperm into a volume appropriate for insemination. Depending on the quality of the
sample, the doctor may have more than one vial prepared at each attempt. Once the
sample is prepared, the patients will take it to their care provider to have the insemination
performed. The physician performing the procedure uses a small catheter that is inserted
into the uterus and deposits the sperm.
If there is known female factor infertility, or sperm are not available in sufficient quantity or
quality, In vitro fertilization (IVF) can be another option. With this technique the female
partner, working with a reproductive endocrinologist receives hormone injections that
stimulate her ovaries to produce several follicles containing mature eggs. When the follicles
have matured sufficiently, the eggs are retrieved and the cryopreserved sperm is prepared
and used to fertilize the eggs. Advantages to this procedure include a much higher
pregnancy rate and the ability to use semen samples with a very low concentration or poor
motility.
How can I be sure my semen sample is not contaminated with another sample or
mislabeled?
The specimen container used to collect the sample is labelled and verified by the patient
prior to collection. Once the sample is received it is handled with extreme caution. All
materials used in the process are labelled with the patient's name, the current date and a
visit number unique to the patient and the sample collected. Each sample is assigned a
physically isolated workstation. All tools and solutions used in preparing the sample for
cryopreservation are sterile and single use. This and the use of trained, certified Andrology
technicians will ensure there is no confusion in the handling of semen samples.
