Self Collection/Sperm Banking

(Males at or after puberty)

  • Sperm cells are collected, analyzed, frozen and stored. Sperm can be stored indefinitely.
  • If sperm is unable to be collected through masturbation or intercourse using a special condom, sperm cells can be obtained through
  • minor outpatient surgery.
  • Success rates are dependent on post-thaw sperm quality; several donations are recommended.

  • Success rates range from 30-95%.
  • Sperm can be stored indefinitely.

Testicular Tissue Freezing
