Radiation shielding: This is similar to radiation shielding for women. Your provider will limit radiation exposure to your testicles by shielding them or by using more precise radiation techniques.
Sperm freezing: You submit a sample of semen for freezing and storage.
Testicular tissue freezing: Some men don’t have sperm in their semen. Similarly, prior to puberty, people designated male at birth (DMAB) are unable to produce sperm in semen. In these cases, providers remove a sample of testicular tissue which may contain sperm. Any sperm found are extracted and frozen.
