Abstract

Background: The semen cryopreservation has an important role in the male fertility preservation. Certainly, patients who are prone to become infertile due to surgical or medical treatments such as chemo- or radiotherapy for cancer treatment. In fact, semen cryostorage seems to be the only proven method that may offer these couples a chance of having children in the future. Objectives: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of cryopreservation protocols on human sperm parameters. Methods: Sixty semen samples with range of age (19-35) years were included in this study. Sperm parameters, were assessed pre- or post-cryopreservation. Cryopreservation protocols were done using SMART medium with either 15% dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) or 15% glycerol alone (as control group) or supplemented with either 0.25M or 0.5M of sucrose for treated groups. Crude data were statistically analyzed. Results: Generally, the results of the present study showed that the sperm parameters were significantly deteriorated post-thawing (P<0.05) as compared to precryopreservation. Both treated groups (G2 and G3) showed best results as compared to G1 (control groups). In contrast, treated group (G2) with 0.25 M of sucrose appeared better results than the as G3 group that treated with 0.5M of sucrose. Conclusion: Sperm parameters including concentration, motility, and morphology were deteriorated after cryopreservation. Using 0.25M sucrose reduced the impact of cryopreservation.
