INDICATIONS
Storage of semen can be done for those patients whose husbands cannot be present on the day of egg collection, for those who have to undergo chemotherapy and also for those who have difficulty in producing the semen sample. It can be stored for many years with periodical renewal. It is recommended that you have another semen analysis done about 2 years after your treatment or after having a baby. If analysis results are satisfactory you may wish to cease storage.
SCREENING
To minimize the risks of viral contamination during storage, it is necessary to have screening tests like semen culture, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV ( AIDS) performed prior to storage,.Your specialist might have already performed those, otherwise we will organize testing for you.
