What Is the Social Relevance of Sperm Freezing?
We are living in an era of cord blood banking. The tradition of freezing sperms is catching up in some advanced countries where males are preserving their prime life sperms for future pregnancies. Experts believe that younger sperms have a lower risk of producing babies with genetic disorders, although the clinical validity of this statement may vary. With the arrival of the latest techniques like IVF and ICSI, sperm freezing has become more meaningful and rampant. These processes have created a strong utility for sperms that are stored.

Here, they can be used in IVF processes and ICSI treatment. Sperm donation has also become a buzzword in the current society.

According to various studies conducted in different parts of the world, the success ratio of a frozen sperm is in the range of fifty to sixty percent, whereas, it’s 10% lower for fresh sperm.

Once they are happy with the quality of the sperm, they move onto the next level. Secondly, the processes attached to sperm donation can be considered sophisticated, and this is why they enjoy more success ratio. With the help of sperm freezing, we can get success in some difficult cases and successfully conquer male infertility.
