OverNiteMale™ Kits

Long term freezing of human sperm is frequently desired by men facing the possibility of sterilization, reduction in fertility potential or genetic damage. Specific examples are chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for male oncology patients, transurethral resection of the prostate, vasectomy or high risk occupational exposure to toxic substances.

Once the need for sperm banking is established by the patient and his physician, the patient contacts our Andrology Coordinator to begin collecting semen specimens as soon as possible. The patient will always decide on the number of visits. It is recommended that 3 to 5 visits be completed for individual semen specimens to be stored in order to optimize chances of pregnancy in the future. Since 2 to 3 days sexual abstinence is recommended between ejaculates, the process will take approximately 1 to 2 weeks. (This can be adjusted to accommodate physicians who believe this time frame is too lengthy and/or therapy/surgery must begin sooner.)
