Prior to cancer-related therapies
Advances in the treatment of lymphomas, testicular and other types of cancer have improved the prognosis for many cancer patients. However, these same therapies (surgery, chemotherapy and radiation), frequently render male patients infertile. Semen cryopreservation prior to the initiation of treatment, offers the possibility of retaining reproductive capabilities for male patients.

Prior to testicular or prostate surgery
Infertility may occur following testicular surgery or prostatectomy (prostate removal operation). The option to store semen prior to surgery may preserve a man's reproductive capability.

Prior to a vasectomy
The option to store semen prior to a vasectomy can preserve fertility potential and prevent the need for reversal surgeries in the event that circumstances change during a man's lifetime. Vasectomy reversal surgery (reconnection) is not always successful. Natural fertility of sperm after long time of vasectomy also reduces considerably.

Prior to an IVF procedure
By storing semen prior to assisted reproductive procedures, the availability of semen at the critical time of the procedure is ensured.

For high risk occupational exposures
Recent studies have shown that on-the-job exposure to hazardous materials can have profound health consequences, including male infertility.

As per the research high risk occupational exposures includes but are not limited to

• Men who are exposed to environmental toxins such as chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, lead, radiation, and an increasing list of agents used in everyday life.
• Professional athletes who risk testicular injury.
• Men in the military.

E.g. Absentee due to job condition, excessive travelling, prolonged stay away from home. Husband can store his sperm at SAB. Wife can continue to take treatment in the absence of the husband and successfully father a child. SAB ensures and promises that husband’s sperm only will be utilized even in his absence.

Performance problem
Erectile dysfunction is a common problem sometimes it is circumstantial and temporary, sometimes it is permanent. However these men can ejaculate even with improper erection. Their sperm can be collected at their convenience and stored for future use.

Inability to Ejaculate (Enejaculate)
A few men are unable to ejaculate due to various reasons, including neurological problems. They can benefit by process called Electro ejaculate, in which ejaculation is induced by stimulating the sex glands by a specialized instrument. To avoid the need for repeated stimulation through this procedure and ensure availability of sperm at the time of need, sperm collected through this process are frozen and stored.

Progressive reducing fertility (progressive testicular failure)
As every part of the body, testis also can face progressively reducing working capacity, ending into a failure, e.g. kidney, liver, etc. Men with poor sperm count and motility due to poor testis capacity-failing testis may progressively become azoospermia. If sperm is frozen, when it is produced and available in semen it can be used for future fertility. Normally a man with impaired testicular function expects and hopes the function to return to normal. He does not realize it may progressively reduced other than improve. It may be difficult to convince them about this and they should be given a fair opportunity to try for any improvement. However freezing up a few semen samples ensures the safety against the possible failure-deterioration.
