Post vasectomy
A post-vasectomy semen analysis is a type of semen analysis that concentrates on the presence or absence of motile and non-motile sperm. The primary purpose of this test is to confirm the success of the vasectomy procedure. Since individuals heal and expel sperm at varying rates, a post-vasectomy semen analysis becomes crucial in determining whether the patient has achieved sterility following the procedure. This test provides vital reassurance to the patient and helps to ensure the effectiveness of the vasectomy. To learn more about post vasectomy testing kits click here.
Semen analysis
A semen analysis is a crucial test conducted to assess the health and quality of a man's sperm. It involves examining a semen sample in a laboratory to evaluate various factors, including sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and other parameters. The results of the analysis provide essential insights into male fertility potential and help guide appropriate fertility treatment options if needed.

Cryopreservation
The first crucial step toward securing a fertile future for many patients is sperm banking. Our advanced cryopreservation techniques allow us to preserve sperm in a suspended state indefinitely. Once cryopreserved the sperm will not age, degrade or change over time. If thawed for use in the future, the sperm will be the same as on the day they were frozen. We have successfully cryopreserved and stored semen samples for over 40 years, later to be used successfully in achieving conception.
Our experienced team of andrologists conducts thorough analysis of each sample intended for cryopreservation. We work collaboratively to devise the best plan tailored to the unique characteristics of your sample. Unlike some other cryopreservation centers, we fully acknowledge the importance and complexity of sperm in the process of creating a baby. During patient consultations, offered with every submitted sample, we actively guide you through different options, helping you select the best cryopreservation method that aligns with your specific needs and preferences. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support and empower you in making the best choices for your future fertility. To learn more about ordering a cryopreservation kit click here.
Please note that state mandated, up-to-date, infectious disease testing results are required to be on file to store human reproductive tissue.
Cancer treatment patients
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, we strongly encourage you to consider fertility preservation before starting your treatment. It is impossible for anyone to predict the long term affects of a cancer diagnosis and treatment on ones sperm. Discussing the risks of potential infertility and exploring your options before cancer treatment is a crucial step to potentially avoid future emotional and financial distress.
If you have already begun cancer treatment and are interested in attempting to freeze sperm, we recommend consulting your oncologist before scheduling an appointment to learn about how your specific treatment plan might affect sperm integrity or future offspring.
