Best IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India

Postpone Parenthood with IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India

Fertility specialists at IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India offer cutting-edge vitrification method of cryopreservation or sperm freezing. This revolutionary sperm freezing technique does not damage the sperms as they are instantly frozen to pause motility and biological activity thereby bringing the process of aging to almost an end. Vitrification is a unique method of freezing sperms as the sample can last for several years.

In IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India, sperm samples are collected in a private room through masturbation or through surgical procedures like TESE and TESA in an andrology unit. Scientists prepare and freeze these sperms in a lab before they are exposed to contamination. Sperms once frozen are kept in special containers to preserve their quality and pause morphological changes. IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India offers sperm freezing and storage by vitrification to improve survival rates.

Semen Freezing

Semen freezing or sperm cryopreservation is a technique designed to preserve & store sperms in a sperm bank. It begins with the collection of sperms which are examined and preserved. The sperms are kept in liquid nitrogen at -196°C and monitored for signs of degradation. When the recipient of sperms is ready for pregnancy, the sperms are thawed and used according to ongoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments. The samples are either stored for own use in the future or are donated for other infertile couples.

Preparing for Semen Collection

Semen collection is an integral part when it comes to treatment of male infertility. Semen collection is done for diagnosis, ART treatments or freezing but it may not be easy for the man. It can make the man uncomfortable as something like this is a very private thing. It is important for the man to realize that he is doing this to be treated and start a family. Most men are unaware about what to expect during semen collection. Consulting a doctor about it can make things a lot easier for them.

SpermFreezing Procedure

Some people think of semen collection as simple as masturbation, but there is a long list of instructions, precautions, and tests that a candidate must go through. The andrologist also has to make sure that the sample is suitable for treatment, therefore, the candidate is recommended to avoid ejaculation or sexual intercourse for a few days prior to semen collection.

The sample is collected in complete privacy and in a sterile environment to prevent any contamination that may hamper sperm quality. Use of lubricants or contact with bodily fluids should also be avoided to prevent sperm damage.

• Blood test: Before the semen sample is retrieved, the man needs to do a blood test to make sure he does not have any infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis or syphilis. IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India conduct these tests in a different department for precise results.
• Collection:Collection of semen is generally done in an IVF clinic in a dedicated men’s room, though some clinics may allow doing at home. The samples are collected in a sterile container and handed over to an embryologist. These private sperm collecting rooms are linked to a laboratory so that the sperm samples can be immediately washed and analyzed.
• Wash and Analysis: The concerned specialist washes the semen sample to remove unwanted substances and carry out an analysis to check sperm quality, motility and genetic diseases. If the quality of the sample is good, it proceeds for freezing.
• Freezing:In the freezing procedure, the semen sample is prepared in a fluid and placed in liquid nitrogen vapor for about an hour to allow gradual cooling. The frozen samples are then placed and safely stored in storage vessels containing liquid nitrogen at a temperature of -196 degree Celsius.
• Sperm Storage: Normally, sperms can be kept in standard storage for ten years, but there are cases where the sperm samples were able to fertilize an egg after 20 years of storage. The sperms in storage are examined in the first six months for the presence of diseases and are routinely monitored to detect the rise in temperature that may affect the quality. The cost of storage depends on the lab facilities, number of samples and the duration of storage.

Semen Analysis

A computer-assisted method of semen analysis is performed at IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India as it is simple, sophisticated and provide accurate results of sperm quality and quantity. Quality of sperms is diagnosed as per the below-mentioned parameters:

• Sperm Concentration - the number of sperms in the ejaculate
• Sperm Motility - the percentage of active sperm movement
• Sperm Morphology - the percentage of sperm having a normal appearance and healthy nuclei

VitrificationMethod for Freezing Sperms

At IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India, the preferred ART technique of vitrification is used to freeze sperms. Vitrification is an instant freezing method that rapidly freezes the sperms for cryopreservation. The sperms are frozen quickly to prevent any ice crystals from forming between cells. Survival rates of sperm frozen using vitrification technique are higher than traditional slow-freezing method.

A step-by-step process of the Vitrification method

• Lab analysis of sperm quantity and motility
• Sperm cells are dehydrated before freezing
• Protectants are used to remove as much water as possible between cell formations
• Sperms are placed into preservation fluid
• Liquid nitrogen is used to flash-freeze the sperms from 98.6°F (37°C) to 320°F (-196°C) instantaneously
• Harmful ice crystals are prevented from forming between cells
• Viable sperms are stored in a lab in special vessels to maintain the frozen state

At IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India, cost-effective and successful IVF cycles are achieved through sperm freezing during treatment. One frozen semen sample can be selectively thawed and used for several IVF cycles. Frozen semen eliminates the need to coordinate with sperm collection with the timing of egg retrievals or IVF procedures.

Right Candidates for Sperm Freezing

Sperm freezing is commonly done in conjunction with ART treatment to provide men with an opportunity to father biologically related children. The most common reasons that patients from throughout India and other states visit IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India include:

• Patients who want to preserve their semen sample before undergoing cancer treatment. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy used in cancer treatment can lead to deterioration of sperms.
• Men having a low chance of achieving a pregnancy due to poor sperm quantity or quality.
• In some cases, difficulty in producing semen sample on the day of fertility treatment or not present on the day of egg retrieval. In these situations, samples are frozen and stored beforehand.
• Men wanting to postpone fatherhood into their future.
• Patients taking some medical treatment that may affect his fertility.
• In case of remarriage or death of a child, some men may want to use previously frozen sperm sample.
• Men, who undergo Vasectomy, but want to preserve their fertility for the future if their situation in life change. Vasectomy is a procedure for permanent contraception in males in which small tubes of the scrotum that carry sperm are cut or blocked off.
• Men with occupations involving a high-risk of injury or death such as armed forces.
• Patients who are about to undergo surgery that may affect the health of their reproductive system.

Benefits of Sperm Cryopreservation

More and more men are choosing to freeze their sperms in an effort to ensure they can father healthy babies later in life. This scientific breakthrough has made sperm freezing or sperm cryopreservation an effective, affordable and convenient way for men to preserve their fertility. There are a number of reasons a man may choose to freeze his sperms.

• Effective:At IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India, sperm cryopreservation is a safe, standardized, and effective process. Cryopreservation techniques are steadily improving with advancement in technological achievements. The chances of obtaining enough healthy sperms, capable of fertilizing an egg are excellent even though not all sperms may survive the freezing and thawing process. The sperms can be frozen for long periods of time without any changes in morphology or quality. Sperms froze over 20 years ago can also be used to successfully establish pregnancies. Cryopreservation can also reduce the risk of cross-contamination as the sperms are stored in special containers.
• Convenient:Compared to the more invasive egg cryopreservation methods, sperm freezing is pretty quick and non-invasive. Sperms are collected from ejaculated semen, analyzed and frozen to be used in future fertility treatments, such as In-vitro Fertilization (IVF).

The sperm freezing process involves:

• Screening for infectious diseases
• Collection of the sperm sample
• Lab analysis of sperm quantity and quality
• Freezing of viable sperm
• Storage of the sperm indefinitely

The entire process of sperm cryopreservation takes one or two days to perform, as the sperms are frozen on the same day of collection.

• Inexpensive:Sperm freezing is very affordable compared to female fertility preservation as it does not require any stimulating drugs or medicines or advanced procedures. At IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India, the cost of sperm freezing for six months is below Rs. 10, 000, whereas the cost of egg freezing can go as high as Rs.259,000.

Thawing Frozen Sperms

Before thawing frozen sperms, it is made sure that it is synchronized with egg retrieval process or the time of ovulation in case of IUI. The embryologist removes the sample from the storage vessel and does a double check to confirm it is the right sample. The vile of sperm sample is placed at room temperature for 30 minutes or sometimes put in the water at 37-degree Celsius for 30 seconds. After the sperms are thawed, it is put in a centrifuge to activate the sperms’ morphology.

Survival Rate of Sperms After Cryopreservation

The survival rate of sperms after cryopreservation can vary among individuals as it depends on the quality of semen sample, duration of storage, freezing method used by andrologists and the care it receives during storage. Depending on the number of sperms, the andrologist may thaw one of the samples to examine how successfully an individual’s semen can be stored and thawed.

Sperm cryopreservation is carried out by expertise IVF specialist and andrologist in IVF with Semen Freezing Centres in India who are well equipped with specialized freezing and storing equipment.

Use of Frozen Sperms

There are many treatment options available for couples who want to achieve a pregnancy with frozen sperms. The type of treatment recommended by the infertility specialist can vary depending on the quality and quantity of sperms and the survival rate after thawing. As part of this process, one’s partner must also go through some basic fertility investigations.

Frozen sperms can be used for Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) if the quality is good enough. If the sperm quality is reduced due to illness or other factors, the specialist may recommend undergoing In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), a specialized associated treatment of IVF whereby individual sperms are injected directly into the eggs. The embryologist provides information to the doctor about post-thaw quality.

Before going for any of the ART treatments, couples are recommended to inform the concerned sperm bank so that the sperms can be thawed and prepared in conjunction with fertilization treatment.

Leftover Sperm Samples

If the sperms result in successful pregnancy in the first cycle of fertility treatment, there is no need to perform another IVF cycle. In these cases, the leftover sperm samples are either discarded or donated in the consent of the couple. The frozen samples are only accepted for a donation if the reason for sperm freezing is other than that to treat male infertility.
