Understanding the Treatment

Sperm cryopreservation, or sperm freezing, is a straightforward procedure that allows men to preserve their fertility for the future. At Dr. Vrushni Bhuta's clinic in Powai and Santacruz, we provide secure storage and high-quality freezing techniques.

This service is invaluable for men undergoing cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, which can significantly impact sperm production. It also benefits men who may experience a decline in sperm quality due to age or medical conditions, or those planning gender reassignment surgery.

We ensure a discreet and supportive environment for all our patients seeking sperm cryopreservation, offering peace of mind for their future reproductive plans.
