Sperm freezing allows sperm to be used in the future for fertility treatments, such as intra uterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). If you do not need them you may also donate your sperms, provided you go through a proper counseling by your doctor and trained counsellor.<br \/><br \/>No one actually knows how long the sperms can be frozen for and remain effective. However, sperms more than 40 years old have been used for treatment resulting in successful pregnancies. It should also be noted that some sperms do not survive the freezing process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d080cdc elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d080cdc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container{height:100%;width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty{position:relative;min-height:22px;min-width:22px}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon{position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;margin:auto;padding:0;width:22px;height:22px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e75425 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5e75425\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"subtopic01\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 15-07-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Screening before freezing<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-baa3d06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"baa3d06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You must know the reasons for you to freeze your sperms.

During the procedure, the male vas deferens are severed and then tied in a manner so as to prevent sperm from entering into the seminal stream (ejaculate) and thereby prevent fertilization. The procedure is done when the couple has completed their family.\n\nWe do encourage men to freeze their sperms following the procedure as it can act as a standby sperms for future use. Sometime situation may change such as death of their child, new relationship and sudden need to expand their existing family.\n\nThe option then is to either to go through a surgical procedure to reverse the vasectomy or go through a surgical sperms retrieval. Having your sperms frozen earlier will save you from going through another surgical procedure.\n&nbsp;\n\n<li>\n<strong>You have poor quality sperms<\/strong>\nSometimes men with low quality sperms will deteriorate to become azoospermic (zero sperms). This is due to some internal factors which cannot be corrected. It is a good practice to encourage them to freeze.<\/li>\n&nbsp;\n<li><strong>Some logistical reasons\u00a0<\/strong>\nSometime couples do not live together due to their work commitment. In Columbia Asia Hospita &#8211; Setapak we do have many women whose husband work overseas.
