Fertility preservation - sperm freezing: patient information

What will happen when I see the fertility specialist?

During the appointment, the doctor or specialist nurse will explain the available options for sperm freezing and answer any questions you may have. If there is enough time to complete fertility preservation before beginning your cancer or other treatment, the specialist will talk you through the relevant procedures.

If you choose to proceed, the specialist will guide you through the process and you will need to complete the required paperwork (including recent travel history) and consent forms for the treatment and storage of your sperm. You will also undergo a blood test to check for infections. These steps are necessary to ensure your sperm can be safely stored, meeting regulatory requirements for potential future use.
