FAQs


1. What is the procedure of registration for santan storage at SAB?
  • Fix up an appointment by calling us. We will explain you the whole process.You will be asked to complete and sign a Specimen Storage consent and other forms. Those forms explain terms, conditions and authorization to store your specimens at our facility.
2. How long should I abstain from ejaculation before each deposit?
  • Two to three days is considered desirable, but depending upon the circumstances it is not a hard and fast requirement.
3. Is it possible to collect semen at home rather than at SSB?
  • It is always desirable that you give semen at SAB, however if you have a specific problem of giving semen at SAB you can collect at home and bring it to SAB for storage. You must follow the instructions. You may collect at home in a sterile specimen cup provided by the SAB. It is optimal if you can deliver your specimens for processing and cryopreservation to Santan ART bank within 60 minutes of collection.

5. How do I get started?
  • To begin the sperm storage process, please call us to schedule your initial appointment. You will be explained the process of what is semen freezing, its terms and conditions. Also you will have to sign the consent. Once you are ready to freeze you will have to provide a semen sample by masturbating in a private room. We will do a complete semen analysis of your sample to determine sperm count, motility (percentage live) and morphology (shape of the sperm). If we find your semen suitable for storage we will store it. Advances in reproductive technologies make it possible for conception to result from samples with very low sperm counts or even from samples with non-motile sperm.
6. How long can sperm be frozen?
  • As long as freezing conditions remain at a constant temperature, sperm can survive the freezing process indefinitely. A sperm that die within the first 48 hours of freezing, and the attrition rate thereafter is very slight. Frozen semen can be stored for unlimited time without additional sperm deterioration beyond that caused by the original freezing process.
7. Am I guaranteed a baby from the stored semen?
  • There is nearly 100% chances that you get a baby through your frozen sperm. However it depends upon multiple variable like:
    How many semen samples are stored
    Conception depends on a variety of factors such as sperm survival, the sperm count of each sample, and the woman’s fertility. so inseminations with frozen sperm must be closely timed to a woman’s ovulation.
8. How many visits should I make to the sperm bank?
  • The more visits you are able to make, the more samples can be stored and they can become available when you need for insemination attempts, which can increase the chances of conception. After we determine the volume and post-thaw sperm count of your first ejaculate, we’ll be in a better position to discuss how many visits you might want to make. An average ejaculate yields between two and four vials of semen. A post-thaw sperm count of 20 million motile sperm per cc would be optimal to increase the chances of conception. However, there are many variables that we can discuss with you.
9.How can I improve the quality of my semen sample which I would store?
  • Sperm count can be affected by length of abstinence, nutrition, stress, amount of sleep, drug and alcohol use, and illness. The most important step you can take to maximize your sperm count is to abstain from ejaculating for forty-eight hours before each storage visit. Forty-eight hours is the standard amount of time it takes to replenish sperm. If you abstain from ejaculating for fewer than two days before your visit, your sperm count may be reduced. Between two to five days of abstinence is optimal, but abstinence of more than five days is counterproductive as there is likely to be an accumulation of aging and dead sperm in the ejaculate.
10. What is involved in storing my sperm?
  • Patients desiring our services should call 079-2663172 or +91 9879572249 for information. We are able to schedule all patient appointments within 1 working days of the initial call. Each individual sperm sample is evaluated prior to freezing and a small aliquot is analyzed after freezing for survivability. This allows us to provide the patient with detailed information concerning the potential use of his cryopreserved sperm samples.
11. How long can you store frozen sperm?
  • Cryopreserved specimens, when properly stored, will remain viable for an indefinite period of time. Pregnancies have been reported for cases in which the sperm has been stored for 20 years in the world and 11 years at BFI prior to thawing and insemination.
12. Is the freezing process harmful to the sperm cells?
  • Approximately 50% or more of the sperm cells survive the freezing/thawing process. The fertilization capability of the surviving sperm cells is not jeopardized during the freezing/thawing process.
