Sperm Cryopreservation
Preserve Male Fertility in Mumbai
Safe preservation of sperm for future use, particularly beneficial before medical treatments that may affect fertility. Our Mumbai clinic offers secure and reliable sperm freezing services.
Sperm survival rates after thawing are generally high (over 80%). Success in conception depends on the quality of the thawed sperm and the chosen fertility treatment.
The collection and freezing process typically takes 1-2 hours.
No recovery period needed; you can resume normal activities immediately.
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.
