Fertility preservation - sperm freezing: patient information
Scottish Government and NHS Scotland general patient information for those patients considering fertility preservation by sperm freezing.
Will my treatment have to be postponed if I choose sperm freezing?
Sperm freezing typically takes two to three days. If your treatment can be safely delayed for this period, your specialist can refer you to discuss fertility preservation options, including sperm freezing. However, if your treatment needs to start urgently, there may not be enough time to complete sperm freezing before beginning treatment. In these situations, other options might be considered. Please see below for information on using donor sperm or adoption.
