• Extended Storage Plans / Renewal (per year): Those who want to store their sperm for a longer duration have to renew their plan every year. The minimum cost is ₹10,000 and the maximum is ₹12,000.
• Multiple Semen Collection Sessions: The cost is ₹10,000 per session if multiple semen collections are required.
• Hormonal Analysis: Before sperm freezing, a thorough hormonal analysis may be required to check fertility potential. The cost of this test may range from ₹15,000 to ₹20,000.

Factors Affecting the Cost of  Sperm Freezing

Certain factors can impact the final expenses:

• Clinic Reputation & Location – Clinics in big cities usually charge higher fees due to high operational costs.
• Storage Duration – The longer you store sperm, the higher the total cost will be.
• Add-Ons – If sperm is used for fertility procedures like IUI, IVF or ICSI, extra costs will apply.

What is the Success Rate of Sperm Freezing in India?

The success of sperm freezing in India depends on several factors. The key factors include –

• The quality of sperm before freezing.
• The clinic’s freezing and thawing technology.
• The method used for fertilisation such as IUI, IVF or ICSI.

Generally, frozen sperm has a high survival rate when properly preserved. However, not all sperm survive the thawing process, so it is good to discuss success probabilities with your doctor.

Most health insurance plans in India do not cover sperm freezing, as it is not considered a medical condition. However, there could be some corporate medical plans, fertility-specific add-ons or partial coverage that some insurance companies may offer. It is best that you confirm this with your insurer before starting the procedure.

The awareness around infertility issues in India is increasing with time, making it a possibility that insurance companies start providing coverage related to fertility treatments in future.

Monitoring of Sperm Quality
