How much does it cost to freeze sperm per year?

Generally, sperm freezing can only be performed in a provincial-level professional assisted reproductive department. The cost varies according to the hospital level and different levels, generally around 10,000 yuan. It is recommended to go to a professional assisted reproductive department for semen quality inspection, so that you can make a clear judgment to choose different methods. In addition, pay attention to whether there are other abnormal symptoms in the body. If there are no abnormal symptoms in the body and mind, there is no need to use frozen sperm.

Generally speaking, male sperm cryopreservation can be considered from the following three aspects:

1. Sperm cryopreservation refers to storing sperm in a -196°C environment for easy use when needed. Frozen sperm is not only suitable for workers who are frequently exposed to radioactivity, radiation sources, harmful substances, and high-temperature environments, but also for those who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy, those who are about to undergo orchiectomy, and those who need to undergo in vitro fertilization surgery but are busy.

2. For patients with more serious oligospermia and asthenospermia, sperm can be refrigerated and stored during the treatment process and used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment.

3. Whether the sperm and egg cells can successfully fuse to form a sperm-egg combination does not depend on the length of time the sperm is frozen. The key lies in the vitality of the sperm after thawing. In clinical medicine, doctors usually evaluate the sperm after thawing, such as the percentage of active sperm and the duration of activity.

During the entire process of preparing for IVF, it is recommended that the father-to-be quit smoking and drinking as much as possible to ensure the quality and charm of male sperm, which is conducive to improving the survival rate of IVF embryos.

What are the benefits of freezing sperm?

1. During the whole process of IVF pregnancy promotion, if there are patients who have difficulty in sperm collection, the male sperm can be refrigerated in advance to reduce the male's work pressure on the IVF egg retrieval day and be prepared for the use of male sperm thawing in case sperm collection is unsuccessful.

2. People with oligospermia and asthenospermia can choose to store and refrigerate the ejaculations in several times and then regenerate them at the same time, or those whose total amount and quality of semen show a idiopathic downward trend, in order to avoid the risk of azoospermia in the future.

3. To preserve male reproductive function, men can refrigerate their semen in advance before receiving radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or the use of radiation, drugs, toxic substances, sterilization, or working in high-risk positions that may cause fetal malformation.

4. Surgical treatment can be used to store sperm. For patients with obstructive azoospermia, the testicular cyst fluid can be refrigerated during the confirmatory puncture to avoid repeated invasive operations.

5. The couple is separated for a long time and needs to store sperm for the wife to perform assisted reproductive technology.

6. The establishment of a national human sperm bank, also known as a sperm bank, will store sperm from sperm donors in cold storage. This will provide sperm sources for patients with azoospermia.
