Ashakiran Hospital offers advanced embryo and sperm freezing in Pune, giving individuals and couples the freedom to preserve their fertility for when the time is right. Whether you're facing cancer treatment, building a career, or planning a future IVF cycle, Ashakiran's expert-led cryopreservation services ensure your biological timeline doesn't limit your dreams of parenthood.
Cryopreservation is a technique that safely freezes reproductive cells—sperm, eggs, or embryos—for future use. These cells are stored in liquid nitrogen at –196°C, preserving them in a suspended state until needed. There are two key types of cryopreservation:
Sperm freezing: Often used by men prior to chemotherapy, surgery, or long-term travel.
Embryo freezing: Used in IVF to preserve fertilized eggs for later embryo transfer cycles.
The frozen samples can be stored for years, providing flexibility without compromising biological integrity.
Fertility preservation is a valuable option for various individuals and couples:
Cancer patients starting radiation or chemotherapy
Couples postponing parenthood for education, career, or travel
Patients undergoing IVF who want to save surplus embryos
Single men and women preparing for future family plans
Men with declining sperm quality or undergoing vasectomy
Ashakiran Hospital guides patients through a tailored preservation plan based on their life goals and medical needs.
Preserving fertility through cryopreservation offers several advantages:
Higher IVF success when using gametes preserved at a younger age
Reduced emotional and physical burden of repeating IVF stimulation
Flexibility in timing parenthood without compromising chances
Backup options for medical emergencies or failed cycles
Options for genetic testing on embryos before transfer
For many, it offers peace of mind and control over their reproductive future.
Here’s how it works:
Initial consultation with a fertility specialist
Sample collection (sperm) or fertilization (embryo)
Evaluation and grading by trained embryologists
Vitrification process, a rapid freezing technique to prevent ice crystal formation
Storage in secure, monitored cryo-tanks
Regular audits and maintenance for long-term viability
Ashakiran ensures complete transparency at every step, along with personalized medical guidance.

Ashakiran supports oncofertility—a branch of medicine focused on fertility preservation in cancer patients. The hospital offers:
Rapid appointments for urgent cases
Close coordination with oncologists
Minimal treatment delays for cancer therapy
Psychological support and future family planning guidance
Freezing before cancer treatment ensures reproductive health is preserved despite aggressive medical therapy.
With changing lifestyles, more professionals delay parenthood. Cryopreservation offers:
Freedom to focus on personal goals
Avoidance of age-related fertility decline
Scheduled IVF when the time is right
This is especially beneficial for women in their 20s and early 30s seeking long-term fertility protection.
Ashakiran adheres to all legal frameworks under ART laws in India:
10-year standard storage period
Renewable consent forms
Strict confidentiality
No unauthorized third-party use
Transparent ownership and usage rules
All patients are informed and documented thoroughly before preservation.
FET success rates at Ashakiran are on par with leading global clinics. Key insights include:
Higher implantation rates when embryos are frozen during peak quality
Better uterine environment for frozen cycles
Reduced OHSS risk
With precise endometrial preparation, FET often offers outcomes as good as or better than fresh cycles.
