Dr. Ashraf Sabry offers advanced sperm and embryo vitrification services — a modern cryopreservation method that helps couples preserve fertility safely and effectively. With precision and experience in IVF, Dr. Ashraf ensures that every stored sample retains high quality for future use.
What Is Sperm and Embryo Vitrification?
Vitrification is a rapid-freezing technique that prevents ice crystal formation inside reproductive cells. It allows sperm, eggs, and embryos to be stored for years without losing quality. This method is widely used for fertility preservation in IVF, especially for couples planning future pregnancies or facing medical treatments that might affect fertility.
How the Procedure Is Done
- Sperm or embryos are collected and prepared in the IVF laboratory.
- Each sample is carefully mixed with protective solutions to prevent freezing damage.
- The sample is then rapidly frozen using vitrification technology and stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C.
- When needed, the sample is thawed and used directly in IVF or ICSI cycles without losing viability.
When Vitrification Is Recommended
- Before cancer treatment, surgery, or medications that may affect fertility.
- For couples who wish to postpone pregnancy while preserving healthy embryos.
- In IVF cycles where multiple embryos are created for future transfer.
- When the male partner cannot be present on the day of egg retrieval.
Benefits of Sperm and Embryo Vitrification
