What does sperm preservation consist of?

A semen sample is collected in the laboratory and analysed by means of a semen analysis to assess its quality. It is then mixed with a cryoprotective medium and frozen at very low temperatures in liquid nitrogen.

The samples can be preserved indefinitely, until the patient decides to use them for treatment or renounces his desire to reproduce.
