Read our awesome guide on sperm bank and sperm banking get more info on this procedure.

I have been a practicing andrologist in chennai for a long time and have helped many patients with their fertility preservation process.

Sperm Banking:-

The problem of childlessness has only been rising. Male infertility though is fairly recent. One cannot deny the fact that ‘male infertility is definitely on the rise’

The concept of commercial banking of sperm banking is pretty old.

In a fully fledged fertility clinic, the semen is processed, the motile sperm fraction extracted and it is then stored in liquid nitrogen Dewar’s (-196 degree Celsius) routinely before a complicated fertility procedure.

This is in fact the simplest form of sperm banking also called as therapeutic sperm banking.

However, from general public view point, sperm banking is simply defined as the process of storing your sperm for a future fertility goal or for DONATION.

Sperm banks are specialized centres that store both sperm donated by various men either for use in couples facing infertility or for the self use, at a later time.

As per the ICMR guidelines, a sperm bank should be an isolated entity from the fertility clinic.

What this means is that, fertility clinics should not store semen collected from donors in the same location as the clinic.

This also means that when you visit a fertility specialist in chennai you may not be able to crypreserve sperm in the fertility clinic. 

You doctor will refer you to third party freezing service that is isolated from the clinic
