AUTOPRESERVATION
​
Autopreservation is the storage of one's own semen for future use. Many medical procedures and cancer related therapies can render male patients infertile. Now they have an option to protect their reproductive capabilities. Cryopreservation of semen prior to the initiation of medical intervention offers the possibility of preserving their reproductive capabilities in the future.
Population explosion has made great impact and family planning methods are well accepted. In family planning centers couples undergoing tubectomy and vasectomy are on the increase. In such cases, facilities for Cryopreservation of semen samples are available with us.
Males in higher age groups are more prone to benign/malignant hyperplasia of prostate and the recommended treatment is hormone therapy and/ or surgery like TURP or total prostatechtomy , it is now well known that these patients following the treatment suffer from decreased libido and ejaculation problem. We at Cryo-Genie have the facilities for cryopreservation of sperm samples.
AUTOPRESERVATION is a real boon to cancer patients prescribed chemo/radio therapy. We have had a few referals where the patients had already gone through these treatments and we could not extend any help. We are writing this to bring to your notice the existence of facilities for cryopreservation of sperm samples at our lab and pass on the benefits to these needy patients.
When autopreservation should be considered:
-
Prior to cancer related therapies
-
Prior to testiculate or prostate surgery
-
Prior to vasectomy
-
For men whose jobs expose them to chemical toxins or radiation
-
For professional athletes who risk testicular injury
-
For men in the military or other hazardous professions
-
For absentee husbands
-
For men with oligospermia (low sperm count). Patients may pool several frozen samples to increase the chance of pregnancy.
