Age
Sperm quality declines with age, particularly after 35. Increased time to conceive, higher miscarriage risk, and lower pregnancy rates. Freezing sperm early offers future family assurance.
Career-driven family planning
Sperm freezing is a practical solution for men who want to delay starting a family due to personal or career reasons, allowing them to preserve their fertility until they are ready.
High-risk occupation
High-risk jobs like painting, driving, herbicides/plastic production, welding or military service can negatively impact fertility. Freezing sperm safeguards future fertility in high-risk occupations.
Genetic legacy preservation
Men at risk of fertility issues due to age, genetics, or lifestyle factors may opt for sperm freezing to ensure the availability of viable sperm when they decide to have children.
Medical treatment
Men undergoing radiation treatment or chemotherapy - treatments that could affect fertility - sometimes decide to freeze their sperm prior to treatment as a biological fatherhood insurance.
Sterilization
Men who wish to get sterilized will sometimes want to freeze their sperm before sterilization, in case they later in life would want to father a biological child.
Many experts on the matter think that any person between 18 and 25 should freeze their sperm. This is because you never know what kind of environmental exposures or health conditions you might come across the years before you wish to have children. To do this kind of freeze, is sometimes referred to as “social freezing”. This is much more common amongst women, where social freezing is a well-known and socially acceptable preventative measure.
Since it is as common with fertility issues among men and women, and sperm tends to be healthier the younger you are, we believe that you should see social sperm freezing as an optimization of your fertility chances for your future self.
Treatment with previously frozen sperm is just as successful as treatment with sperm that has never been frozen.
Indefinitely.
The storage of your sperm will automatically be renewed until you actively decide to use them or end the service.

There are several options for the sperm that is not used during a treatment:

Dispose them, which means removing them from the freezer and naturally perish
