Fertility preservation - sperm freezing: patient information

Scottish Government and NHS Scotland general patient information for those patients considering fertility preservation by sperm freezing.


What is fertility preservation?

Fertility preservation involves collecting and freezing your sperm (sperm freezing), so that you have the option to have children in the future, using that sperm.

If you decide to proceed with a consultation for fertility preservation, you will be referred to the Fertility Centre closest to you, but this may not be your local hospital. Your clinical team and fertility specialists will work together to carefully plan and coordinate your fertility preservation alongside your treatment, ensuring everything is managed smoothly and efficiently.
