Why is Sperm Freezing Important for Cancer Patients?
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and certain surgeries can significantly affect a man's fertility. These treatments can damage the sperm or reduce sperm production, sometimes leading to permanent infertility. By freezing sperm before starting cancer treatment, patients have the option to use their preserved sperm for assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) if they wish to have children later.
