The process typically involves the following steps:
Consultation: The patient meets with a fertility specialist to discuss the procedure and potential outcomes. Sperm Collection: Sperm is usually collected through masturbation. In cases where this is not possible, other methods like testicular sperm extraction (TESE) may be used. Analysis: The collected sperm is analyzed for quality and quantity. Freezing: The sperm is mixed with a cryoprotectant to protect it during freezing and then stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at extremely low temperatures.
