Teenage and young adult cancers 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 starting your cancer treatment, the specialist will talk you through the relevant procedures.

If you choose to go ahead, you will need to complete consent forms for the treatment and storage of your sperm, as well as have 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.
