The process generally involves the following steps:
Sample Collection: Sperm is collected through masturbation, typically at a medical facility. In some cases, surgical sperm retrieval may be required. Analysis: The sample is analyzed for sperm count, motility, and morphology to ensure its viability. Freezing: The sperm is mixed with a cryoprotectant to protect cells during freezing. It is then cooled gradually and stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. Storage: The frozen sperm can be stored for years until needed.
