Testicular Tissue Freezing

What is Testicular Tissue Freezing?

Testicular cryopreservation, sometimes referred to as testicular tissue freezing, is the process of removing a small portion of testicular tissue and freezing it. The constituent parts of sperm, spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), are present in this tissue. Men can safeguard their future ability to become fertile by keeping this tissue.

Who needs it?

• Cancer Treatments: For men with cancer who are about to get chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery that could impair their fertility, testicular tissue freezing is frequently advised. These procedures run the risk of impairing sperm production, making spontaneous conception after recovery challenging or impossible. Testicular tissue can potentially be used to create sperm later on if it is preserved before treatment.
• Pre-Transplant Procedures: Bone marrow or stem cell transplants may be necessary therapy for some medical problems, such as autoimmune illnesses. These procedures frequently entail intensive therapies that can be detrimental to fertility. Using testicular tissue freezing, one can keep one's ability to reproduce before receiving such medical care.
